Difference between this module and views attach

I haven't looked closer at this new module yet. But if I understand things correct, the same behavior could (in some cases) be accomplished with Comment Block. That module removes the default comment listing from nodes and creates a default view with a block display that can be placed anywhere on the page. It also places the comment form in a block.

dixon_, you might be right on that count -- I had done some cursory hunting but hadn't spotted Comment Block, and so whipped this module up to provide just the feature I needed -- zero-configuration switching of comments to Views.

It might be worth nuking this module and just moving to comment_block. Does it REQUIRE that the comment posting form be migrated to a block, or can it remain 'in place' as it is by default?

Actually, I just looked -- unless I'm mistaken Comment Block uses views_attach to do the heavy lifting, which means that there is no easy way to position the comments and the comment form below a node's links without doing some heavy theming. Perhaps I'm missing something?

If you can merge the 2 projects together that would be ideal; the less fragmented the better IMHO. If you do end up merging I would still want to look into loading of comments via an ajax callback. See #668542: AJAX loading of this view?
