As a pub game, NS is way better to play than CS. However, now that I've had a friend getting me to ring in some CS scrims, I have to say I'm still partial to NS but organized play does make CS more appealing.
All in all, learn the game, play it, and see for yourself. Not all games appeal to everybody.
And yes, comparing them is quite pointless beyond the fact that they are both games that you can play on the Half-Life engine. Aside from shooting, there is nothing the same betwen them.

which means there would be less people because it hasent been around as long which means less server, also this is the 1st public release of NS and its well alot mor for cs beta 1.0-7.6 or something then official 1.0-1.5 (1.6 if you have steam) which is an unfair advantage to CS not ns
I think the difference is that, at least on public servers, CS games instantly degenerate into deathmatches that are usually over in two minutes. If there was a way of enforcing teamwork and completion of objectives it would be quite different. Teams would play tactically and work together, creeping towards each other slowly instead of just running at each other, firing wildly and flinging grenades everywhere.
NS overcomes this by making sure that you have to play as a team, and rounds generally last much longer, often evolving into 1-2 hour epic battles. It's all a matter of personal preference, not which one is "better".

The changes basically are trying to enforce teamwork... which can only be enforced so far. I think the emphasis on teamwork means the game will only be understood/enjoyed correctly by a clan, a group of friends that play together frequently, or a group of server regulars that play together frequently. Games where you don't know the marine covering your back just don't seem to end as well.
