They are different programs with different purposes, so there's not much
point in comparing them. For example, SCOS2 was designed to encrypt
*only* printable ASCII, a restriction that in the quest for
internationalisation your program completely overlooks... and that's
fine, because they are different programs with different purposes. Your
program also adds a layer of difficulty to ciphertext-only attacks,
whereas SCOS2 was designed to be easy to attack. And that too is fine;
they are different programs with different purposes.
Well, their purposes should be the same
Why?

That's not an answer to the question.
