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? ;)).
