I am sure you know this: both are comparable as a shared log abstraction. Once you have that, the state machine part is trivial. For the replicated shared log abstraction, you need to do the same kind of things in both the Paxos and Raft worlds. The latter is simpler to implement because the paper is written close to an engineer's understanding. i have written several versions of both, in production.
1. You underestimate my understanding.
2. You underestimate my experience.
