My view from someone who has spent a fair amount of time with FT8.
FT8 is more like fishing in a barrel. RTTY to me is much more
difficult and involved .

I use FT8 a lot on 160 for long haul DX that I can't work on CW, and
on 6M for E-skip chasing grids, but I have so far not gotten excited
about FT8/FT4 contesting. That said, I see little difference between
the attitude expressed in this post and those who, in the '50s and
'60s, refused to switch to that new-fangled SSB.
I also fail to see how FT8 differs from RTTY implemented by stations
using, for example, N1MM or WriteLog with multiple decoder windows in
which one simply clicks on a callsign to start an automated QSO and
clicks on the report to enter it into the log.
Perhaps someone could explain the difference.
