subject: Favorite BBS software

I'm just curious what everyone's favorite BBS software is?  It's not my 
intent to start a flame war/argument, I'm just curious what BBS software you
like and why.  I've been running Synchronet (in Windows) since 2007, and
although I like it, I've started to get curious about other BBS software and
what advantages/disadvantages they might offer over Synchronet.  Mystic seems
popular, and I keep thinking I'd like to give that a try.  I know there are
people who dislike Mystic though (for various reasons which I don't remember
offhand).

I've considered eventually moving my BBS to Linux (although not likely any
time soon), and I've heard Synchronet has some support for using DOSEMU for
16-bit DOS doors, which could make that a bit easier.  When I started running
a BBS again, I initially started with EleBBS since EleBBS is a clone of
RemoteAccess, which I used in the 90s.  I eventually decided on Synchronet
though, due to an issue I was running into with EleBBS.  Also, it looks like
EleBBS hasn't been maintained in years - I'm not sure if EleBBS has been
abandoned..
