How is Mint better/worse as a name than "Delta One" or "p.s."?

And if you can find your booking class (which B6 makes difficult) you'll see the traditional booking codes. (My last SFO-JFK run booked into "I".)

No VOD. The movie starts when it starts.

I agree the lack of VOD at this point makes the system look embarrassingly dated, and I don't find streaming an acceptable alternative.

I think all in all B6 has a slightly better in flight product and the legacies have better (in some cases significantly better) ground operations. That said, I too consider them roughly equivalent overall and tend to book first on price and schedule.
