    Its interface and concepts are close to Logisim's, so one can directly start to use it. It can also support much faster simulation than what Logisim offers.

    The interface is similar to Logisim, with some improvements. It also handles oscillation better than Logisim.

    Digital was built as a successor to Logisim, and so their features are very comparable; in many ways it has already exceeded it's predecessor.
