Hasn't Blue been working on BE-4 longer than SpaceX has been working on Raptor?Who is closer to a finished engine right now?

Blue Origin just sent a jolt through the aerospace industry"As Joe Biden would say, this is a BFD for the space industry."by Eric Berger - Oct 19, 2017 8:31pm BS
The significance of Blue Origin's successful engine test is pretty simple. The company basically built a huge new engine with private money.
The main line of attack from its legacy competitor was that this new company didn't have the experience to build such a large engine.
Well, they just took a huge step toward putting the lie to that. Seven years of hard work, and now they're on fire. Like, literally.
