I am maintaining a fairly complex set of nodered flows, dealing with some long running tasks performed by other tools.

When checking n8n the impression was that it's like a v2 of NodeRed that learned from what NR did wrong. Lots of tools an capabilities you end up wishing for in NR are built into n8n.

For example:

* data flow is simplified, no one global "msg" var that gets clobbered by every 2nd custom script * you can fairly easily test flows * you can see execution history, including in/out data * you can see exacting flows
