tell me some pros and cons about using windows xp 64 as my main workstation

use GNU, BSD, Mac or Windows 7-10 ending with Vista and XP is autism in this day and age

i hate linux and win7+
i had no problems with xp 32 bit how dangerous can running a 64 bit version of xp be? i mean most viruses/malware/exploits are designed for xp 32 anyways, right?
is it true that the 64 bit version of xp is more secure, since it uses a different kernel?
Pros:
>aesthetic
>comfy
>good for basic shit or older games
Cons:
>less drivers than an AMD card on gentoo
>insecure as fuck
>incompatible with most newer hardware

There are no pros, only cons.

ELABORATE! BOTH OF YOU NOW

Its still windows XP, its not getting security updates anymore and due to the extremely vast market of Industrial embedded systems and other "non essential to upgrade" systems XP is still a huge target for viruses, malware, ransomware, etc
Common Sense 2016 isnt good enough to protect you from malicious shit on XP if youre using the internet.
Not to mention other reasons, namely software comparability, things like .NET framework and DirectX versions
