Paul,
Thanks for continuing the debate this way …
The 2ManyRobots home page for Yate makes it clear that - as you say - Swiss Army Knives - will work well for many people: superb automation and an emphasis on customization that puts the user in control.
I have no means of knowing what ‘most’ users want. But - as both you and Barry would probably agree - there are many kinds of users with many kinds of needs. SongKong meets many; Yate also meets many. Although, from experience, I still respectfully submit that Yate (and others in your table, for all I know) does more than your comparison suggests.
My concern in posting as I did remains that users with no experience of tagging benefit from being aware of and understanding all the options; and that Yate really does represent a very rich mine of possibilities.
There’s a lot there, isn’t there, for sure. Once you’ve used Yate, though, it really does become second nature, I promise .

Yes - with Actions.
There we shall have to friendlily disagree, Paul. There are many which I - and other users (here) - do use regularly.
Maybe it is - as you imply - a case of horses for horses.
Who could not be encouraged by your commitment to continued updating and enhancement! OTOH, I find Yate’s almost incredible richness of features (I still sometimes stop in the middle of an operation, wonder whether a certain function is possible, look in Help; and find it is!) extremely useful and always 100% reliable… no crashes etc.
For sure. Though I think it’d best be done by those who use each solution - with all their differences - regularly.
