Whereas, Coinlab,
It's not a X vs Y debate. Coin* (all of them, base, lab, whatever)
are teh Yfail.
I don't think it is fair to bash Coinbase just because they have a similar name to CoinLab. The link you cite seems to conflate the two as the same thing, but they are actually different, and it is just plain dishonest to make a mistake like that and not fix it in the article. That might be libel?
