(it's an anagram for del.icio.us vs. ma.gnolia)
...and the anagram engine can be found among my bookmarks in del.icio.us.
I have to say (and agree) that ma.gnolia is prettier by miles and if there was a bookmarklet that looked like the logo, I'd probably switch, but I imported my del.icio.us bookmarks and ma....(alright, from here on in, it's going to just have to be delicious and magnolia because I will not spend any more time typing it correctly) and magnolia does display them in an easier to read format with different colors whereas delicious is visually kind of tedious.
The navigation differences are kind of interesting; it's not that one is better than another, but in delicious it's 'your network' compared to magnolia with contacts and groups.
Something at magnolia I thought was interesting was the Roots feature, by adding the roots bookmarklet to the toolbar and clicking it while you're on a new page, if the page has been bookmarked and commented on at magnolia, those comments will appear on a pop-up screen.
Prettiness and cool features aside (and magnolia has t-shirts for sale too), I found delicious faster and easier to work with. It's possible that I've just been working with delicious just a little longer and the convenience and speed is like so many other just marginal preferences for one service over another - based on familiarity.

familiarity dictates a lot of my decisions w/these tools, as well. I also think that a lot of the power of delicious comes from the fact that so many people use it...
