I would be very much in favour of collecting such "benchmark" examples where FriCAS performs better and other systems and make that public so that we can have a "selling argument". Would you be able to show-case a number of your comparison experiments. > Of course, there things missing from FriCAS, but IMO FriCAS > is pretty strong as "general purpose CAS". Yes, yes, once you know FriCAS, it is easy to see that. But other people are not easily convinced. It's like convincing someone to change from emacs to vi or the other way round. And we know that learning FriCAS is not that easy so we should put more emphasis on showing a lot of convincing arguments.
