So, OpenIconic seems to have none of the interesting features that Iconic Pro does (responsiveness, CSS styling, etc.). How is it better than other existing open icon sets such as FontAwesome, then?

Hmm. I'd like to see a demo of the first claim.
The 2nd claim is nice, I suppose, but FA also has 369 glyphs compared to 218 in OI, so the per-glyph file size advantage isn't actually that dramatic.
