    DC> Mystic seems to be more preferred by the "scene" folks, for reasons that    
    DC> escape me.  I think SBBS appeals more to the "tinkerer" types.  Also as    
      
   Mystic has been historically quite a bit more advanced in the way it handled   
   ANSI and its user interface.  While Synchronet has added these things in   
   recent day/years, these features were often found in Mystic for decades before   
   (which is enough time to build a following).   
      
   These types of features were imperative to modders and its likely you just   
   didn't have much of a grasp on what Mystic does or modding based on your own   
   admission of not using it.   
      
   The author was also was a part of that scene, releasing with long term groups   
   like demonic and ACiD.   
      
   The features each have depend on what features matter to the person who uses   
   the software.  What has more features changes based on who is using the   
   software.   
      
   And of course there is just preference. Some people prefer Pascal and Python   
   over JavaScript and C++. Some people grew up using Renegade/Telegard and like   
   Mystic for its similarities.  Some people like Mystic's security.  Some people   
   may choose Sychronet for all of those opposite reasons (they used Synchronet   
   in the 1990s, they want to write JavaScript, etc).   
      
   Lots of reasons why someone may prefer one over another.   
      
   ... DOS=HIGH?  I knew it was on something...
