Is there a major functionality difference between this module and: http://drupal.org/project/easy_breadcrumb

I just tested a few modules to get the behaviour I liked.
The main difference between Breadcrumbs by Path and Easy Breadcrumb is that the latter works with a seperate block, while this module changes the $breadcrumb array. Personally I like that better.
Also Breadcrumbs by Path works with the Sub-pathauto module, while Easy Breadcrumbs doesn’t (at the moment, at least).
Easy Breadcrumb has more options to configure from the interface. Like removing the Home-link, adding the current title (optionally as a link) and what to use as seperator (and more). But I always use a piece of php, taken from the Zen-theme, in my template.php to adjust the breadcrumb.

I tried both, and Easy Breadbrumb looked to me like it tried to do way to much for this simple use case.

This needs a little work, but I really love the idea of just worrying about the paths and letting the breadcrumbs take care of themselves.

I guess that the main difference is that easy_breadcrumb creates a block with the breadcrumb inside it, whereas breadcrumbs_by_path updates the items within the standard breadcrumb so that it can be displayed as normal.

https://drupal.org/node/533448 should be updated with some of the details from comments above.

Based on module descriptions this module also seems a lot like the crumbs module.
Is that an accurate assumption?
