I concur. It's also very reassuring to see multiple actively supported implementations of the same functionality that uses the same file format. In many ways, it's probably safer using ledger format files to store your financial data than a 3rd party tool that only has one implementation which may be closed source. This can also apply to the variety of unix kernels, or programming language implementations - more tools that do "the same thing" slightly differently provides choice and the ability to test design decisions in multiple directions simultaneously. - Zack
