I hate to be a moral relativist, but 'better' is not the right
question, since each has its advantages.

It's generally agreed that the Lightspeed (and Turbo) products
are cheaper, require smaller computers (MPW is hard disk only
and is straining things at 1 Mb) and faster.

MPW is considered the software of choice for large projects.
Some people would consider 5,000 lines large; others, 50,000.
Ex-UNIX types might also enjoy it because of its line-oriented
shell.  It ain't cheap, though.

[Disclaimer: I am the author of a book on MPW which, according
to the publisher, should hit the stands some time in the next
5 years. :-) :-( ]
