To compare them in an absolute sense (which is "better"), if of course
futile, as everyone's concerns/requirement/objectives are simply different.
But, if you know what specific aspects you are comparing, and for what
purpose...a lot can be garnered from comparisons as you state.
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a tool, as it applies to your
needs, can only help you understand how well that tool will suit *you*.
