[dbohdan] 2014-10-03: The table's current format is tentative. Feel free to add new columns for data that you think will help compare the frameworks, e.g., columns for individual features. Speaking of columns, is there a way to make the each column start on a new line in the source of this wiki page? What I mean is something like

======
+
| c1
| c2
| c3

instead of
