Why would anyone want a holy war?

If you want someone to flame on Manatee and SketchEngine, it won’t be me or Stefan, I’m afraid. The SketchEngine people do an excellent job. It’s not exactly the job we want to do, which is why CWB is progressing in accordance with somewhat different design priorities, but relative to their specific goals their work is top-of-the-field.

WRT the 2 billion word limit – yes, this is a known issue which is the result of CWB’s historic prioritisation of backward compatibility with design decisions made in 1992. The Ziggurat project is designed to fix this by making a clean break for v4. You can read about it on the website.

Dear CWB community,

I can't find any holywar on CWB vs NoSketch<https://nlp.fi.muni.cz/trac/noske> topic. Could someone compare these engines? People on NoSketch mail list<https://groups.google.com/a/sketchengine.co.uk/forum/#!topic/noske/C2fg3zaYqZM> say NoSkE can handle practically unlimited number of tokens, has much better documentation, has JSON API, is more modern. What would you say? Why did you chose CWB?
