TextObjectify vs. vim-textobj-user? #11

Currently I'm using https://github.com/kana/vim-textobj-user but would like to know if TextObjectify provides any functionality I'd miss.

The two plugins are intended to do different things. vim-textobj-user is intended as a framework to let you make your own text objects. TextObjectify is intended to (1) extend existing ones in contexts that they don't currently do anything and (2) make new ones on-the-fly without requiring you to make them ahead of time.

If your goal is to define new text objects, vim-textobj-user is preferable to this plugin.
