Which one do people prefer? I've personally found the chess.com UI to be a lot warmer and more inviting than lichess, but I'm interested to hear people's opinions

In what ways is Chess.com actually better though? The people I've spoken to always say Chess.com is better, but when I ask them how, they always draw a blank, or bring out unsound arguments. I think the fact that it's paid content makes people think it's premium or something.

I think the educational material is simply more user friendly and better for newbies. They'll also be in the same environment that has the most famous players. I think the interface is a bit easier and straightforward to navigate for a beginner.

Lichess is not vastly! superior or else chess.com I don't Believe would have the market share it does.

But these are just my opinions
