My impression is that LK8000 is even more feature rich than XCSoar, since the LK team went on developing new functionality while the XCS team were porting it to Android.

No, your subjective impression is not quite correct. The Android port has nothing to do with adding features (or not).

Both LK8000 and XCSoar have gained new features since Paolo decided to part the XCSoar team (he quit because he rejected the Android port, not because he wanted new features). Many new XCSoar features are not present in LK8000, for example:

- SkyLines live tracking (http://www.skylines-project.org/tracking/)
- show friends locations via SkyLines
- METAR/TAF
- improved reach display (shows reachability behind obstacle when there is a route around the obstacle)
- terrain avoidance suggestions (terrain route planner)
- airspace avoidance suggestions (airspace route planner)
- valid IGC file download from FLARM, Colibri, LX5000/LX7000, Nano, CAI302, ERIXX
- configuration interface for FLARM, Nano, V7, CAI302
- many more device drivers, for example K6Bt and custom pressure sensors (MSM, BMP)
- up to 6 devices can be connected, all input is merged with auto-fallback
- Bluetooth server for wireless NMEA forwarding
- FAI triangle areas obeying the 750km rule
- high-resolution terrain renderer
- kinetic panning
- live scores for more contests (Netcoupe and others)
- audio vario
- gestures
- runs on Android, Mac OS X, Linux, Raspberry Pi (plus all Windows platforms that LK8000 supports)

(That list is far from complete)

There are only few LK8000 features that have not made it into XCSoar. Mostly features that have not been considered important/useful enough by XCSoar developers/users.
