So what's wrong with the stuff that's already out there ?

Personally I'm a MKS User and Believer, and yes, I know MKS is commercial,
but to me it was well worth the price. (buying it at a discount when they run
a special saves big bucks)...

But everything you listed is available via Simtel as ports of GNU's tools.
What's worng with those ?  I used to use them and found them more than
adequate.  I switched to MKS for reasons beyond the fundementals.
