[Lemon-user] Inheriting from Lemon classes

[Rafael Arakaki]

I would agree with degski. In LEMON you have a much better design and
syntax. I personally think BGL has some unnecessary syntax overhead. In my
department we are slowly adapting laboratories and example codes to LEMON,
students (including myself) find it easier than other c++ libraries and I
would say ease of use is a very important long-term characteristic for a
library (new users tend to stick with the easier one to read and write
code).
