I agree that they are very different in terms of the usage and ability of them. I do not agree that it takes an expert. You don't have to use 'expert' features, but it is great to have them there if you ever want to. I did a drive examination and file recovery project for someone not too long ago. Although I could've possibly used something like a Fedora disk, it would have made it much harder than just using Helix, since the drive had windows, and many of the features of the cd just made it easy to work with, plain and simple.

They are tools designed to do different jobs. Or to put it in terms an EE would understand, it is like comparing a screwdriver with a butter knife. Do you compare how well each drives a screw, spreads butter on bred, or pries open a stuck window?
