I did some basic testing, and they don't seem to be all that different... only that I have to take the wiki's word and consider moveTo() to be better-suited for love.update(dt).
But if that's the case, shouldn't setPosition() be defunct? or at least rename moveTo() to setPosition()?

Re: ParticleSystem - setPosition() vs moveTo()
Not if internally they do different things.

Re: ParticleSystem - setPosition() vs moveTo()
The two functions are completely different. setPosition() teleports the emitter instantly while moveTo() interpolates the position between frames. The higher the particle spawn rate is the clearer the difference is.
It's like comparing love.graphics.points() and love.graphics.line().
