There are a ton of reasons why someone wants options, its not reinventing the wheel its matter of choice, choice is good.
Especially for something called "getsimple". Id say 90% of users do not want to even read a guide or docs.
In this case, it's definitively reinventing the wheel. But I agree, the choice is good.

items manager plugin has a bad rap, it was never developed beyond a few versions, i spent a hundred hours rewriting that plugin to use it.
Not really, the current ItemManager has nothing in common with old items manager - except, perhaps, a bad rap lol

As said above, I haven't created the old item manager plugin and it has nothing to do with ItemManager.

this is really a bad reason

I hear item manager I think item catalogs, not custom fields/data stores.
These are my personal changes and it has nothing to do with ItemManager, again, really a bad reason to not try a plugin.

No, which is a good thing,we have 2016 now and PHP 5.2 belongs to the scrap, its ugly and slow.
But this all does not alter the fact: The plugin doing things exactly like IM Extra Fields, has the same function and completely superfluous
