I really like 2x2 and I want to get serious about it so I started to learn cll. I learned a set but then realized that making layers is way slower than a face. I know Ortega and most of my faces have a bar so I wanted to know if I should learn cll or eg-1 and also why do people learn cll first?

Making a layer should not take much like longer than a side, so try to learn to make more efficient layers. People learn CLL first because the algorithms are a little easier the EG-1 and there will be more cases you already know from normal OLL algorithms.

What's the most popular 2x2x2 speedcubing method? Like how CFOP is to 3x3x3.

Ortega is basically the way to go, unless you think LBL is better for you, which some people use, and both are only a handful of algs. If you want to get more serious about it, learn CLL, it's 40 algs and can get you at least sub 3 with that alone. EG is what the top people use, along with some other algs or sets
