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.
