Scripting
TinTin++ features its own scripting language which is easy to learn, fast, and flexible. It's possible to use other scripting languages with shell integration.

Coding is more difficult
If you code externally, and try to paste into the mud, the \n's just do an immediate carriage return. Have to use \n to use \n.

Uses Lua, a modern, powerful and easy to learn scripting language
Lua is a modern and powerful scripting language that is easy to learn, easy to read, and shares some of the Python ethos - easy to read but still powerful.

WorthyOrion's Experience
I've tried several clients over the years, including MUDLet and Tintin++ among many others. Unless you are looking for a console environment, this one is by far the best. It has everything -- scripting, triggers, aliased, speedwalking, command stacking, color customizations galore, MXP, adjustable line wrapping, mapper. The GUI mapper is a bit of a pain to set up but works well once you get it going. One annoyance is that by default, if you have text in the input line and press the up button to go to the previous command buffer,it will give you a pop up to ask if you really want to delete the current input, but you can disable this in the options. It is tucked away in the Input, keyboard settings, and I believe you have to do it for every world file, which is a little annoying. This client can do pretty much anything you could want. I have not seen a better one in 25+ years of mudding.

Lua scripting
Ability to script in a known common language is always a bonus. For Blightmud it comes with all the bells and whistles. Persistent storage, aliases, triggers, timers, GMCP hooks and callbacks, keybindings and customizing the status bar.

Terminal only
Blightmud doesn't have it's own native GUI, it uses a Terminal user interface (TUI) to present an input area and an output area in the terminal. All users might not be comfortable with this.

CourteousMinthe's Experience
I love running my mud client in the terminal. Being able to extensively modify the client to my needs through a common scripting language is an added bonus on top of that.

Fast and lightweight
Blightmud runs extremely fast and when playing muds that produce a lot of output this is always a benefit. It doesn't take up any noticeable amount of CPU time either.

Terminal only
I don't want a massive GUI application to play muds. I want it to be small and able to run on a headless server.

Telnet protocol support
Blightmud comes with TLS, MCCP2 (compression) and GMCP support. It also allows you to extend with new protocols and implement handling of these in lua if there's something more you need.

Works with games that don't send a "Go Ahead" signal

Con
•••
No longer supported
Mudlet depends on receiving a "Go Ahead" signal from the game server in order to properly display information. The game one plays can just not send a Go Ahead signal, and that results in weird lag after entering commands when using Mudlet. While CMUD is no longer supported, it still functions just fine on Windows 11 in 2023.
