<p>Use 還是比Y好 is sufficiently to express what you want in the context. It suits your need. Still(還是) better(好) than(比) Y. 還是比Y好 is acceptable to use if the people know what thing that you mean is still better than Y.</p>

<p>I want to say "X is still better than Y :)" in a kind of joking/offhand manner. This is just a simple text message, so I would further like to abbreviate it like: "still better than Y :)" </p>

<p>My understanding is I can express the original like:</p>

<p><code>AllenNlp 还是比 FairSeq 好 :）</code></p>

<p>Is the abbreviated version 
<code>还是比 FairSeq 好 :）</code>?</p>

<p>Are there any general rules for "texting" chinese?</p>

My understanding is I can express the original like:

Is the abbreviated version

`AllenNlp 还是比 FairSeq 好 :）`

It is more natural for me to keep the first half. It can be shortened to:

`还是 AllenNlp 好` or `还是 AllenNlp 更好`

As another object does not exist, '比' is not necessary.
