Hey Charlie, this is a great overview. Thanks for posting this.
[Disclaimer: I work at LaunchDarkly]
I wanted to mention a few things:
"The main difference to doing this on LaunchDarkly’s end compared to ConfigCat is that to turn on your flag you must enter the name of your production environment and a comment."
This is an optional security feature. Often times people would like to force their team members to make a comment before making a change in the production environment.
By default this is turned on for the "Production" environment, and is turned off for the "Testing" environment. You can enable or disable this in the project settings page.
Regarding "LaunchDarkly needs extra User information in your program." - this is also not quite correct. You can pass in an empty user object such as {"key": "any"} if all you wanted to do was turn a feature globally on and off for everyone. The user information allows you to do fine grained targeting, such as being able to target people in a specific location.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
