Yes, it seems to be incorrect, so must to be in reverse order, as Mag is more minimalistic, and is a Nitpicker clone, whereas Dope has more features. (just wait what Adam will say)
Both statements are not wrong as there are touching different things. Indeed DOpE has a widget facility which mag does not have. On the other side mag offers a windowing interface which DOpE does not offer as DOpE would be on the client side of that interface. The reason for having both mag and DOpE (and l4con) is that I like to have multiple implementors of the same interface around. In this case all (mag via its plugin) offer the L4Re::Console interface where a client does not need to care who actually implements that. So the server-side can be exchanged without the client noticing.
