they're customizable. I can do so much on them and with them.

if I like pop'n controllers, I can make a gigantic pop'n controller for SM. and that's exactly what my friend and I are doing so that I can play ridiculous index 8-button double charts.

if I like 10 keys, I can use two keyboards and play keyboard pump doubles.

but on the other games, I am limited to what the game developers give me and have to train using their awkward interface layouts. a lot of songs on these games only have a burst of hard patterns anyway, so I'm spent playing 2 minutes of shit for an actual 20 seconds of content I want, whereas on say Stepmania I can just isolate that part.

there's so much versatility that I can't do on the proprietary games.
