I don't. would you care to enlighten me?

As a simple user I find it bizarre that when specs are publicly 
available; and Free implementations are available too; that it is not 
the same implementation used in all tools. Isn't this easier to do than 
trying to change UI toolkit?

Being part of the portfolio and having unified UI is mostly eye candy.

Being able to pass smoothly files through the different steps in the 
workflow is much more important.

File format support as precognized by Alexandre; and multi-platform support.

Ideally *all* file formats: existing and not yet invented; standardized 
and work in progress; obsolete and current; encrypted; approved; 
disapproved; and anything else I forgot. Same for platforms.

Give the user the freedom to choose which UI he wants to interact with. 
make sure he can open and use his files, no matter what tool/UI he chooses.
