Because maybe this time for a change the wheel will be round, rather than the square and triangular types that SSC and fPTech have always been so fond of.  Makes the ride less bumpy.

I'm looking at Mark's product.  Yes, a fair amount of intervention is required for each new conversion.  That has always been the case.  And even when filePro isn't the source or the destination, I tend to put it in the middle to make things easier for me.  Something I've been doing since the Profile II days, but Profile 16 &seq really improved the situation.  (Unix.  I/O redirection.  Leave it at that).
