What is the difference between the twist and twistd commands?

Twisted has an old twistd command and a newer twist command. Are they equivalent except that twistd daemonizes itself?

twistd is the original command line runner. It has a much larger number of features. Daemonization is one of those features.

twist is a newer command line runner. It aims to fix some of the mistakes of twistd. Built-in daemonization is considered one of those mistakes but there are others. It is also missing some features of twistd which are not obviously mistakes.
