Following #642, it's still unclear to me when I'd want to use Grafana Agent over OpenTelemetry Collector. On one hand, OpenTelemetry Collector sounds more generic and feels like it has no vendor lock-in, on the other hand, it seems like Grafana Agent has more to offer and is more efficient when it comes to the Grafana stack.
I was able to configure both OpenTelemetry Collector and Grafana Agent (to send traces and metrics to Grafana Cloud) relatively easily, and the result seems to be the same.
What am I missing, and what might help me decide which one to use? Maybe some future-use case that I don't consider right now?
