I forget the quote but Louis Rossman said something about the importance of knowing the best possible argument against whatever you're trying to argue for. If we make a page trying to compare Melon with other libs in a fairly unbiased manner I think it could highlight the advantages of Melon, while also showing people the weaknesses so they can know which library to use in a straightforward way. It could also be good for helping us figure out which areas could use improvements.
