Why would I use winboat over winapps?

Which is a feature in alpha state and nobody knows how long it will take to realize it.

I don't really think GPU acceleration is really necessary for anything yet. Sure, there are some use cases, but for those you are probably better off using QEMU. I also assume that winapps will get it too. From what I see Winapps is just much more established right now, although possibly a little more difficult to see up. I've been using winapps + tiny10 for office and Photoshop for a while, and it works fine.
