Difference is that inputlirc forwards key codes to lirc clients, so
you need irexec (from lirc package) to execute command on button
press. My solution has ability to execute command without using lirc
(command is defined in esekeyd.conf). On the other hand esekeyd cannot
forward keys to lirc clients.
