<!-- This is the MVC template for defining sections which will be included in a tool comparison page. This .md file is included in the top of the page and a table of feature comparisons is added directly below it. This template provides the sections which can be included, and the order to include them. If a section has no content yet then leave it out. Leave this note in tact so that others can see where new sections should be added.
