Get as pedantic as you like, but Frescobaldi is a Big window with editor on the 
left, PDF output on the right.

This Browser based solution is a big window with an editor on the left and PDF 
output on the right.

Apart from the OS you run on. There is no difference. 

Frescobaldi has a heap more useful features though for serious use than this 
experimental website - that's not to disparage what is done here, it's a nice 
piece of work. 

The Implication that Mr Kulp made was basically not having to keep opening a 
PDF separately from the editor. 

In Linux and MacOs when LilyPad worked for me, you never would need to do that, 
the PDF would update automatically, windows never did. So it was a big window 
on the left where I edited and the PDF on the right where the music appeared. I 
just pressed ctrl-c or whatever it was instead of click a 'preview' button. 
Same difference. Average user doesn't care.

So if I were going to recommend LP editor or composition and the users had 
windows I'd go for FB everytime. Try the latest version 2.2 I think, Wilbert 
has done a cracking job for windows users.
 
You still need an editor to errr edit the LP file and a PDF viewer to view it.
