Yeah I see your point. I think it's personal preference. Like you say in the final sentence of your paragraph, it's the only real active option for hockey management sims - and, like you, I'll continue to support the game as much as I can.
I think the comparisons are just a way of helping some users gauge whether or not they'll enjoy the game. EHM is the benchmark for hockey management sims and so I think it's natural that people will compare the two games. Comparing the approaches of the two dev teams isn't really productive (e.g. things like "EHM did X in a particular way and therefore FHM must do it that way too") - there's more than one way to do things and EHM was far from perfect.
It may in fact be helpful for the devs when people do compare the games. Take for example my earlier post - I said that I prefer the tactical options and depth EHM has to the present FHM beta. If a lot of people are saying the same thing (like the many comments about the ease of use in relation to the UI) then it's useful feedback for the devs. They can then identify areas that users are frequently commenting upon and consider whether to work on them (e.g. by adding additional tactical options or modifying the UI/menu system, etc) - particularly as the OOTP guys really do read our posts and listen to our feedback.
I think so long as the comparison is to help users and/or give feedback to the devs then it's all good. If it's just for a flame war (like some threads here) then it's probably pointless!
