I've had better experiences with VRBO than AirBnB

Agree, largely because AirBnB tends to have higher platform and cleaning fees.

I also have a hard time understanding why AirBnB is treated as crown jewel of success for using $6 billion in raised capital and more than 6,000 employees to copy what VRBO already did well (and with substantially less resources).

(Honestly, I would like to understand this, if someone can explain it to me).

I find many properties are posted on both sites, then it comes down to fees, for which I feel Airbnb's are much higher.

Same, it's been great. I've mostly used it for renting large homes in Tahoe.
