Yes, WS has always allowed people to transfer a travel credit to another person, so they've been much more flexible there.
I believe it's new with WS that they now allow people to actually change the name on the reservation (so you can keep the existing fare without having to transfer the credit and rebook) for a reasonable fee (e.g. $50) or free on their higher fares.
I still stick with AC for now due to lounge access, upgrades, but definitely a lot more flexiblity with changes on WS.
