I agree with you on this. I hear this argument a lot and it seems like people only used parts of both sites or something. I've been using both for a while now, mainly the iOS apps, I have a paid diamond chess.com account. They both have strong and weak points in their UX.

for me it's having my game records accessible on the front page, I spend more time analyzing my games than playing.

You could just bookmark https://lichess.org/@/yourusername/all

Also, does chess.com have anything similar to https://lichess.org/insights/yourusername or https://lichess.org/analysis#explorer where you can select "Player" and see how openings play out for your games only (as well as masters and the whole of lichess of course)?

(for the obtuse, replace "yourusername" above with your actual lichess username)
