TBDev vs Gazelle

[AvailableName]

Title says it all. Tell me which you like the most and explain your reason behind it.

I personally don't know much about either of them and am looking forward to the community's opinion and feedback. I did hear that Gazelle is a monster to code while TBDev is easier to customize. But then, that's all from what I read and heard.

Edit: Thanks to however added the poll!

Well for me "patched" TBDev source is much more usefull than Gazelle...
That's all what I wanted to say

That's not an argument. Patched Gazelle is better than TBDev. What's your actual argument?

TBDev is much older than Gazelle ..
i think Gazelle has a lot of exploits & bugs, sure TBDev has also, but they are working on it since the beggining, and no, it's not wise to take a 'patched' TBDev source .. it is better to take the RAW source and patch it yourself

TBDEV is better, you can change more on it. and the style's are lookin' very good!

Well I do not like the Gazelle structure.
This is my argument :p

For a specialized site Gazelle is godsent, but for a general site i can see it being a nightmare. How do you group apps? Do you have group for a program then have a version as an "album" then different releases under there. Or each version of the program has a page? How about coding the implementation for each category of torrents, are they compatible? I guess you could disable that sort of grouping but I mean, if you're not going to take advantage of gazelle organizational features, why use it at all.

Well, there must be a reason why most sites are moving from TBDev to Gazelle and not vice versa.

I took a look at the "official" TBDev source once and it's messy as hell. I havent looked at Gazelle though so in theory it could be even worse.

TBDev is highly supported, tons of addons and plugins

Gazelle is great for non-0day music sites, especially What.CD. TBDev is awesome for everything else.

Of course there are some nice implementations of Gazelle code like DB9, TorrentVault, but TBDev would suite those places really well too. Gazelle-mania just pisses me off.
