My morning thoughts about FSL v.s. AFNI

About the source code,

FSL had several drawbacks.  It did not give you error message and often overwrite the image, which can be problematic when you run a batch script.  You might did something wrong but you will not know until you visualize your data.  While AFNI does much better job for output message.  The codes from AFNI is long and long.  FSL codes are simple to read and digest.

FSL has some special functions like TBSS, fieldmap unwrapping, and dual-regression, etc.  AFNI developers are slow to catch up in this aspect.  They are too proud sometime. :-)

Thus, I use both.  *_*  I do like those linux based software.  Fast and easy to run on the cluster machine.  When you have tons of subjects, you have to use batch scripts.
