Ahhhhmmmm......No....Nessus is not "JUST" nMap. Nessus can be configured to call nMap, as well as several external scanners, such as nikto, hydra, etc. Nessus has an entire set of it's own checks, that are not related to nMap at all.
Nessus is a vulnetability scanner
nMap is a port scanner/enumerator/OS Id'er.
As for the original thread....I like nessus for vulnerability scans, the checks are keep up-to-date., if you runs the update prior to scanning you can ensure that you have the latest checks, and best of all it is 100% completely free.
