Performance testing isn't what generic users perform all day, so I'd not 
include that. Functionality provided by both (three?) candidates does 
however have a window of frequent use by a generic user, in much the same 
way ping and traceroute have. A bit more emotional reason is the naming for 
me: ``netcat'' sounds way cooler than ``tee teeceepee'' (was that a bit over 
the top? ;)).
