For the purpose of "telnet to port 80", I don't care about the network terminal tcp/23 port. > 2) nc is bidirectional.

That's a whole different use case than "talk to that remote port". That's "open up a local listener daemon" essentially (which you could talk to, from the remote side using NC or Telnet). So, again - for the purpose of "open a connection to $REMOTE_PORT on $REMOTE_HOST to talk to it manually", why is nc "better"?
