Why the insult directed at OF? The interface is way cleaner and the stats can be manipulated in many more ways. The ability to zoom in and actually see details on the map is a huge improvement over FM, IMO. A well populated FM map is a blob of letters that are illegible in some regions (NE USA and Europe come to mind).
I was simply noting that FM is the older well-known one (and probably the one the OP was thinking about) and OF is the new one snapping at its heels. I was simply providing all the options, hope you don't object to that

The use of the word "pretender" in the description. New entrant, new option, or new service all would make sense if you're trying to describe them as such. By describing it as the "new pretender" the implication is that they aren't really a service to be considered as they aren't really all there.

Well, I disagree that new pretender necessarily implies all that (beyond perhaps historical connotations). IMO in sport for example a new pretender could emerge to challenge an existing champion and that is a complement rather than a dismissal. However life is too short to quibble and veer this far off topic, so instead I shall avoid excessive purple prose in future
