Well I'm self-taught so I have to start somewhere. I'm not sure I could put together a stand-alone tool and still complete my Ph.D. program. Anyways I've found most stand-alone tools just aren't flexible enough and I don't feel like making something I wouldn't use myself.
Fair enough, and definitely agree with not making something you wouldn't use. (The "most [existing] stand-alone tools aren't flexible enough" problem is, however, one of the reasons why there's so much room to do better...)

True that! Okay, you've convinced me to make it a long-term goal.
