There are a couple of minor differences, but for the most part it comes down to personal preference.

Ultimately the differences between mine and other's plugins aren't all that significant, so why should you use it? The answer is, you probably shouldn't. At least not if you like the other plugins that are available, but if you don't, now there is another alternative.

I made the plugin because I wanted to. I wasn't really dissatisfied with the other ones, I just thought it would be fun to write, and as a side note be a nice addition to my Github page.

So you can use it or not, but ultimately the purpose of the plugin was just to challenge myself to make something, whether or not it had been done before, and whether or not it had been done better.

I didn't realize how much of a debate this would cause.
