What were you using before the switch to Kanban? This is very interesting to me, the idea that just switching up techniques can have that much of an impact on how you feel at work.
When the teams I worked with switched to kanban, they liked that they didn't have the end of scrum deadline, they also disliked that they didn't have the ten day deadline anymore as they felt the arbitrary deadline helped to push them a little.
That being said, kanban is better, it is more relaxed and feature feedback is faster than scrum.

Not having to decide priorities is a massive relief; the product owners know they have to discuss priorities with each other and my team leader, not me.
(1) yeah I know it's not an accurate analogy.
