GDAL/OGR does much more than reprojection. For instance, using the ogr2ogr
utility, which is written in just a few pages of code, you can create
shapefiles from an ESRI personal geodatabase while reprojecting the result
with a single command.
It also supports practically every raster format.
I'm thinking that it would be simple to write a general GDAL import driver
that would let users open any gis data format supported and provide
reprojection on-the-fly support in the same dialog. This is basically what
ogr2gui does.
