If user created resources are included, then e-Sword has thousands
more than The Sword Project.   If one just compares resources at
e-sword.net and estudysource.com with those available for The Sword
Project, then I think that it is a tie.

Originally, I think the Online Bible was used for the source for free
Bible Study programs.  Then Sword Project resources were used.  The
current trend appears to be to use e-Sword resources.

True.

Cannot use the feature, or hasn't bothered to learn how to use the feature?
