Now it's just as easy to clean B&N eBooks as it is to clean Amazon eBooks. Both use an app to download and both use the same plugin to remove the DRM.

But, it is possible that B&N will pull some new stunt that will change this. But for now until they do, I don't mind buying from B&N as I do have some credit.
Very true, but what that means is that B&N is now only just-as-good as Amazon in that regard.

And in the area of direct-download-from-cloud, Amazon is superior.

No one is denying you can certainly still DeDRM your B&N books. But, and this is the big but, B&N no longer has the advantage over Amazon (particularly when it came to linux users, but in general anyone who doesn't want to install more bloatware).
