I guess it's because Blue Wave generally can handle longer message subject
lines, netmail via BW packets natively instead of having to have software
manually work with QWK packets to do such, the automatic numbering of
packets to allow easier archival methods than QWK as well as having a more
generic programming structure than QWK (since QWK was specifically designed
for PCBoard).

It also comes down to personal taste also.

Later,
Sean
