I was about to say some thing along these lines, but you summarised it better than what I would have done. I just want to added that every time I use Transifex I find its UI very confusing and things that can be simply achieved with damned-lies are either impossible or done in a very convoluted way. I fail to say what features Transifex offers that we need; we neither need the complex multi-project multi-team multi-workflow setup nor the near useless online translation tool (if we ever need one, then IMHO only Pootle is worthy consideration currently).
