I feel that the config menu system in Synchronet is by far its biggest
benefit. The documentation is probably the best of the litter as well. It's
just been heavily developed for so long that it has a great feature set. 

But while I understand it's customizable, the menu hotkeys and overall
usability are so clunky compared to Mystic. Every time I hop on someone's
Synchro board it just feels so unintuitive. Feels like it's written more for
the sysop than the user.

It certainly does seem like it does the best job of letting the BBS be a tool
to get the goal/job done instead of running the BBS being the goal/job.
