Your answer to why not to use quagmire is too long to make it a useful answer? I went to this quagmire page you posted, and there is nothing in the downloads tab. That would be a enough reason for me not to use quagmire. I see that I can get the source, but I don't want to have to compile this thing if it's not purely script based. Also when I go to quagmire-discuss, there are a bunch of nasty topics that are over 1 month old; nobody's moderating.
