As you noted, TM is closed-source. However, GM is very sparsely developed after the switch to webextensions—still no script management interface, as far as I can see. TM whips it in terms of features. VM appeared recently in the FF land, and my guess is, it's for those who hope for faster development—however dunno if those hopes are realized, feature-wise.

Violentmonkey has all the features I need. I don’t know what features Tampermonkey has, but I can’t think of much more I could ask for in Violentmonkey. VM has:

• A dashboard page where you can remove, disable, or update user scripts.

• A CodeMirror editor with syntax highlighting for editing installed scripts.

• A ‘+’ button to create a new script for the current site.

• Support for scripts that use the GM_… functions like `GM_setValue` and `GM_registerMenuCommand`.

• Site-specific actions in the extension menu: enable or disable scripts for this site, run those scripts’ menu commands, or search Greasy Fork for published scripts that apply to this site.
