One difference is that it is more convenient to use menuconfig.
Yes, the default value is selected if you press ENTER.
But it is esier to install ncurses package and then to use menuconfig
than using "config".

Please try to install ncurses and ncurses-devel packages using the
package installation tool of your Linux distribution, it should not
be too hard, assuming you are running a common Linux distribution on
your development host.
