Emulator standings

[Sonic Waffle]

Ok, I recently have been getting back into emulation (I stopped around 2009) and have been using MaNGOS these past few weeks. My question is though, how does each Core compare to each other; advantages and disadvantages.

Cores I'm interested in:
WCell
SkyFireEMU
MaNGOS
TrinityCore
ArcEmu

Any other information about other cores is welcome.
Thank you

SkyFireEMU it's for cataclysm and it's based on mangos ..it's ok .. but well needs improvement

mangos ..u know .. mangos ..

trinity it's based on mangos but it's better ..(the best emu for 3.3.5 i say)

arcemu alt of bugs but VERY CUSTOMIZABLE

WCell - Only C# emulator. No drama. Decent-sized dev team. Decent cataclysm support developed by Pepsi1x1 (old Aspire dev.)

SkyFireEMU - TrinityCore with 4.x.x support piled on top. Pretty much one giant hackfix. If you don't mind the way things get done around there, it's actually very usable.

MaNGOS - Decent-sized dev team. Random developing speeds. Sometimes you have 10-20 commits/day other times you go 3 days without a single commit. Pretty stable. Lacking many features.

TrinityCore - Large dev team. Has support for pretty much every feature in WOTLK + BC. (NPCs on Transports is a little wacky, Shauren is working on it.)

ArcEmu - Lol. People still use this? 2 devs. Andy_ stops by every few months and makes some giant epic fix. Has a Lua engine. Essentially a 2.4.3 server with 3.3.5a authentication and phasing support.
