They are the same as in yes, it's the same idea - a gantt chart but Hipmunk's way better looking and more interactive.

When I say clone, I don't mean to imply they simply copied it with no originality - I'm just pointing out this fact to all the people who claim Hipmunk's advantage is their gantt view..which ITA already has a versin of and can be improved to match or be better than Hipmunk's.

That's what "cloning" implies though: making the exact same thing.

But have not so far, so Hipmunk's remains an advantage. You "could always" copy to match, in theory. Does not mean it's technically feasible, let alone easy. Or that you think it's a good idea.

And yet so far no one has.
