Comparison with related software, especially nbgrader

[jedbrown]

It's interesting to see an active project with momentum in this space, but it would be really useful to have a comparison with existing tools. In comparison to nbgrader, it seems like question prep takes a bit more work with Otter, but perhaps can better support cases in which students can approach the problem in different ways. And it looks like Gradescope is a recommended way to write feedback, versus the built-in grading/feedback support in nbgrader. Perhaps you could write a brief comparison on the docs site to make it clear what we'd be getting/giving up in switching to Otter to help prospective users make more informed decisions.
