We won! :) 4 more green boxes!

Seriously, its an interesting comparison. I particularly like that the 
criticized points all translate into actionable things. So many linux 
reviews come out with "it smells funny" kind of criticisms that nobody 
can really do anything with.

Of course both of these are dev branches, so its expected that they are 
both rather broken, but still interesting.
