   It's more user friendly, IMO.   
      
   MBSE seems very much designed for the "Fidonet Sysop." I didn't join Fidonet   
   until about a year ago, so I had no interest in most of the overly convoluted   
   setup/configuration that MBSE has.   
      
   Back in the mid 90s when I ran a BBS, I also contributed to the "Artscene" so I   
   based, and still base my opinions of BBS software around that. OBV/2, Iniquity,   
   Vision/2, Pipeline, and Renegade were some of my favorites back then.   
      
   To be honest, the only reason I'm running Synchronet now is because Mystic's   
   development stopped for a good few years, and everyone's hopes and expectations   
   of future development of the software was dwindling. I moved on to something   
   that was currently being developed (though still wasn't interested in Fidonet   
   technology at the time). With Synchronet, I was able to ease my way into that,   
   and learn a lot more in the process with 3rd party programs, rather than having   
   a BBS software that does everything for you.   
      
   Now that Mystic is -- and has been back in development.. I'm setting up a point   
   system with it, that might very well make it back up the ranks to replacing my   
   main system.
