That may be the case for you but you presume upon the OP and other
readers.

Having read that link, and wasted my time, I can say that in my
opinion it
does not answer the OP's question in any meaningful sense. Which is
no
surprise when one reads this:

...this is like telling the OP to RTFM. But his question is typical of
that
which requires answers that are not to be found in manuals.

A person asks question of forums to get the benefit of wisdom and
experience
amoung other things. Manuals and guides have a different purpose.

Our OP likely would wish to know opinions and experience
of such things as

*Reliability
*Flexibility
*Ease of debugging
*Developer responsiveness
*documentation
&etc

...contrasting the two plugins against each other. He won't be getting
much
of that from your link.

Sorry, Dad, but the OP asked a specific question: your fatherly advice
is just space filling.

But it is worse than that. People come to forums to get answers they
are not getting elsewhere, especially experience. When another expert
sees that a question has a reply it reduces motivation to also reply.
The result of your posting it that the original poster may not get the
answers he might normally expect, and should expect.

Ironically while you appear to imply the OP was being lazy the content
of that link only proves that you are being lazy. Indeed your post
seems to be self-righteous, hypocritical presumption. Astounding,
really.

Such lazy replies are the blight of discussion forums and really such
posts are a form of pollution reducing the quality of the discussions.
And this isn't a one off :you do it elsewhere, to which I also
replied.
