Wenda Li (Sep 02 2021 at 06:35):Not much difference to me, but I believe people may slightly favour the latter as the former is sometimes considered 'improper' proof methods.
"The following improper proof methods emulate traditional tactics. These admit direct access to the goal state, which is normally considered harmful!" ---isar-ref, p169.

Mathias Fleury (Sep 06 2021 at 05:14):There is a key difference: rule_tac x = x in exI can refer to a bound variable (like x in !!x. P x), while the where cannot.
