Readability

memoQ uses small fonts in many crucial parts of its GUI.
CafeTran Espresso allows the user to set the font and font size in nearly all parts of its GUI, allowing optimal adaption for translators with bad eyesight.
Also, nearly every part of the GUI (panes, etc.) can be made floatable and positioned on other screens, with different resolutions.

that obviously (with some fiddling) it's possible to position some of memoQ's panes on a secondary monitor.
For those who don't have access to the memoQ forum, I'll insert a borrowed image from the thread mentioned above:

Dark mode

Dark modes are quite popular nowadays (though still remain a matter of personal preference/taste).
CafeTran Espresso has a Dark mode.
memoQ doesn't have a Dark mode.

Glossaries are simple, can be switched to case-sensitive/case-tolerant with two clicks. They are tolerant for language variants (locales) (but you can create specific glossaries for US, UK, AU etc.).
And most of all: you can edit/bulk modify them in one go, with the Find dialogue box or in a text editor. In both cases you don’t have to interrupt your work on your current project.

In-grid QA report versus separate view for QA report
Sep 3, 2022
memoQ (in this case version 2015!) uses a separate view for the QA report. You have to navigate through the segments in the lower part of the screen and ignore errors or correct them. Not very handy, if you ask me.
In CafeTran Espresso you work directly in the grid, as if you were translating. You can easily and directly modify the segments. You can see the whole segments directly. You can do Find and Replace actions to eliminate differences etc.
