Isn't Chess.com simply better than Lichess ?

@lovlas I play it because it kills time but that doesn't mean that chess.com is a good website in my opinion. On the one side: Slow board, bad gameplay, fewer variants, no exciting tournaments I can play in, bad analysis, bad cheating detection etc. On the other side: Puzzle Rush is a nice way to spend half an hour of my day and I occasionally have time to play the Arena Kings. If these are the arguments and you say 'LOOK: He likes Puzzle Rush a bit. That means his critique of chess.com is dishonest." you're not trying to argue on a factual basis but just trying to undermine my personal credibility.
@lovlas But that's the insinuation. If he says that it looks like I'm enjoying chess.com as a response to me heavily critisizing it I feel like my critique is dismissed on a minor personal thing, i.e. playing puzzle rush. It's like Donald Trump. I despise him in general but from time to time he is entertaining. Same with chess.com. I dislike the website in general but I play puzzle rush because it's a pleasant way of killing 30 minutes of my day. But if all of my arguments why I dislike chess.com are dismissed by saying 'He plays puzzle rush' and nothing I said as to why chess.com is bad gets even mentioned by him I feel that I'm not being taken serious and he is trying to make it look like I enjoy chess.com when I'm saying that I don't.
Chess.com has bughouse, puzzle rush, 4 player chess, lots of elite players playing there every day, interesting blogs etc etc. Personally I wouldn't say one site is better than the other, they both have their advantages.
@Chillkroete77 You find Puzzle Rush entertaining enough to choose as one of the best ways to kill your time. The point that guy was making is you cannot argue against the fact that this feature is quite nice. Of course, you could as well live without it, sure, but obviously for many people paying a couple of dollars per month isn't a problem to get a nice thing they can spend many hours with as you do.
Actually I (re)joined chess.com solely for the rush, like it. Got a free diamond, not bad. Some nice guys, but lots of trolls though.
@Wolfram_EP @lolvlas
I think that they never said that they don't like puzzle rush or that chess.com is all bad. They are just saying that overall, considering all the features, they consider lichess a better website.
