Default [Q] CWR or 4Ext ?

I own paid version of cwr and been using it for a while. On my last device cwr was the recommended even tho twrp and others were around. I've only had this phone for roughly two weeks, but I'm familiar with unlocking, rooting, s-off and so forth.

I've noticed some ROM releases like the new AR requires 4Ext. Aside from little calculators on backup and what not, what real difference is there. I'm currently using cwr touch recovery.

4ext began as cwm based, but grew much since, it was the first to support touch recovery, and has some extra features. I also feel it is being updated more frequently, and might have a larger community behind it.
I'm not entirely sure why some Roms, like ARHD which I'm using, requires it, I simply enjoy it better.

ARHD requires it because of the update script style for the roms is programmed to interact with 4ext's coding style for the touch system

Yup, 4EXT is better because you can choose the add ons you want installed like what kernel etc.

To me 4Ext is MUCH better for all the added features it offers and CWR it is just trying to catch up with 4Ext. I honestly feel that 4Ext left CWR far behind.
