= is an assignment operator, not a comparison operator. EQ and IS are comparison operators. I wouldn't say it's an inconsistency. It actually makes a little more sense. With that said, I screw it up all the time. However, one thing that's helped me is that at MAX in New Orleans we covered some performance tips and if you use EQ on numerical comparisons and IS on string comparisons, the performance will be better.

Does anyone know if there is a reason for the difference, or is it that they were written by different people or something?
