Not entirely, since I posted mine in the thread that you and Ralph were
'going at it'. While amusing and entertaining, I did not find it contributed
much to the general understanding of the differences between the two.

No, but it does reflect on how much help the user can expect, or how
relatively difficult it might be. Ralph immediately jumped in with
suggestions. You didn't - neither reflects on the final performance of the
package, but it does affect the usability, particularly for newbies.

Okay.

> Is that relevant?

Not in terms of performance, but it does taint the support experience
everytime that some user asks about the differences between the two, a
verbal jihad starts between the two authors - again, amusing, just not very
mature.

IMO, of course.
