Logged in with history of voted preferences plus chosen subreddits it is much better than HN has been lately.
I use both daily. Starting a couple months ago the number of "I want to read" articles on HN has plummeted. Today it's .5 to 1 out of 10. On reddit esp in the subreddits I care about it's 3-5 out of 10.
HN started better but stagnated and is experiencing the doom of popularity. Reddit is the superior choice now because of it's downvoting, subredits, and training(although I'm not sure this is part of code any more. But, looking at my logged in front page and the default front page is night and day difference. So, something is going on.)
Note: Don't just compare frontpages. You have to login and use the tools provided to get results.
2nd Note: HN comments are still far superior (using HN's values of "superior") than the avg reddit comment.
