It may have been done to death; has it been done properly?

I've been playing with most of the candidates. One of the reasons for doing so
is because I have in the past rolled my own and feel there must be a better way,
and because the dreaded 'metrics' have cropped up again.

What I'm finding is that each one does some things well. But none are
anything like
complete; all require considerable effort to make work anyway; and there's major
investment required to fill in the gaps (or implement multiple solutions).

Despite knowing that it's wrong, there's a distinct possibility that
we roll our own again.
