It honestly reminds me of the opinion pieces put out by encyclopedia companies about the many ways Wikipedia was inferior.

I read an article that pretended to objectively compare them. It noted that Wikipedia (at that time) had more articles, but not way more... A brief "sampling test" suggested EB was marginally more accurate than Wikipedia - marginally!

The article concluded that EB was superior. Which is what the author was paid to conclude, obviously. "This free tool is marginally better in some ways, and slightly worse in others, than this expensive tool - so fork over your cash!"
