This is one of SK/FROG/TROLL's favourite posts.
It is a classic of half-truths, no-truths, and
outright bullshit; therefore, I am enshrining it
on my Frog page.

Somebody wanted to make a point about *download size*
It had to be corrected by the *number* of downloads
Final result, size*number, is not in favor of QS 

>>QS is lean.
and JBN2 got blue eyes

As Stray Cat pointed out, the GUI has a price
QS has a *lean* plaintext sheet. QS users need to enter the various
semi-colons, colons, commas, blanks asters and tabs in the proper
sequence (and the remailer names).
They have no click and drop interface, they easily make mistakes, and
while QS is lean, the newsgroup is fat with their mistakes. So is the
bit bucket.
JBN2 has a *rich* GUI, clean, neat textbox or droplists for each
parameter, adds required punctuation where it belongs, and puts things
in order. JBN2 users click and drop, and may focus on their post.
QS is much like using JBN without the GUI interface (imagine editing
the .BK or .NBK files with notepad). Hardly a step forward!!!

IN CLOSING
Those who want it lean will run on NIX anyways, those who want a
user-friendly fool-prof GUI will use JBN, and QS has a niche market
for masochists, lifetime testers and fashion victims.
