Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose

Before convincing people to use specifically, FOP I would like to convince people that FO is a superior model than traditional model of proprietary solutions (3B2, Compuset) for documents that both FOP and those traditional tools can produce. In other words, is FO a good strategic directions. S
