Out of the two 2d vector animation programs, which do you prefer using, and why?

If you need to do cut-out animations, there is also Celaction.

And Cacani for keyframe animation is also nice :)

Are puppet rigging and cut-out really the same thing?

Kind of. It's used synonymously.

If you work with cutouts, in most cases you would use a bone rig as well.
If you use a bone rig, you can work with cutout parts or vector parts or a combination of both.

Would you say that Moho is to cut-out animation, as TVPaint is to frame-by-frame animation?

Certainly I would say that, but I haven't even worked with other software in that field. Biggest competitor would be ToonBoom, there's a long thread about it in comparison to Moho here: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... =7&t=25763

There's also people who use CelAction for cutout style.

And Adobe After Effects in combination with the excellent (and free) Duik.

And also Blender or Maya (South Park).

From my experience with blender I would not recommend it for 2D cutout-animation. Maya seems to be a pretty good choice for it, from what I heard, since mayas bone-system is pretty good.
Daniel Gies for example uses After Effects (with Duik and some custom scripts) or Maya for his 2D cutout animations.
