I wouldn't know.  Both are more than sufficient for my lightweight
use.  Obviously I choose to use the cheaper one.

I consider both way too bloated, complicated, and slow so choose
other simpler programs like Ted for word processing. In the same
way I haven't touched PhotoShop or GIMP in a very long time since
mtPaint does everything I want. The fact that neither has very
active development is a plus more than anything - when I do want
to try something more unusual it still works the same as it did
years ago when I tried it last, whereas commercial software or its
open-source copies will have changed everything just for the sake
of keeping busy and looking new.
