This is a major project and it will take some time to transition (and test) everything but it will be very helpful going forward.
Boolberry has many exciting things ahead!
How does boolberry compare to monero? What is better, what is worse?
I like Monero and it clearly has a much larger community than Boolberry. There are several things I prefer about Boolberry but I don't like to use the terms "better" or "worse". Lets use the term "different". There is a lot of BBR and XMR community overlap and we try to help each other.
If you are interested in learning more here are a few of our technical differences (besides an official GUI which I think is not a huge deal because Monero has unofficial GUIs already and a web walet)

Boolberry also has a much slower emission schedule than Monero (xmr is 50% mined excluding tail emission as of this month). There are pros and cons to this.
This is the current Boolberry development focus which quotes a fair critique from a Monero core dev (smooth)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.msg12454282#msg12454282Most of things that distinguish Boolberry are technical right now. Monero is clearly ahead in adoption and services such as xmr.to and cryptokingdom help the monero economy. Boolberry needs to work on increasing usage and development of supporting services
cointopay.com recently added support for Boolberry which is a good start for us. We have many ideas but some of them will take time.
