I think the intention of this thread is not to compare who has an easier time following Islam or who is the better Muslim...I think the intention is to share the experiences of born Muslims and Revert Muslims.
You know that expression "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"? Well, having a born Muslim share their personal experience and struggles (or lack there-of) having grown up surrounded by Islam with a Revert Muslim who has the background of other beliefs (or lack there-of) is VERY beneficial! How are revert Muslims to know of the struggles that "born" Muslims go through?..and vice versa! Born Muslims may have pre-conceived ideas about the struggles of Revert Muslims.
By sharing those pre-conceived ideas so that if anything needs to be corrected, it can! The experience of sharing our experiences draws us closer together and helps cement the bonds.
This wasn't a "who's better" thread....its a "what is your experience and how do you view the experience of others" thread....
