Athena more user friendly than Astrobear?

I heard through the grapevine that Athena is more user-friendly than Astrobear, and this has to do with the ease in getting it on a personal machine and being able to run it (within 5 minutes), and also that published tests are incorporated into the code, tests that can be run by the user and are referenced in the literature..

Makes me wonder if we should spend some time refining/condensing our intro user material, and making it easier (and faster) for new users to get the code up and running.
