Agent is a commercial app, fully featured, giving one a GUI interface
to Usenet.  It allows me to efficiently, professionally deal with the
NGs.

Riiiiight.

Let's take an example:  how many news servers can you configure
it to use? (I have three set up in Pan.)

Meanwhile, your "commercial app" isn't open source, and isn't
even being maintained anymore -- not for 10 years!  Booo!

Besides:  Gravity is better.

But all this is moot.  We might as well be discussing the
"one true ice cream".  Different people have different
preferences.  That's what makes Unix so nice: choice.
