NMap Scripts Vs Nessus

Hi

Note in advance - no offense to nmap folks.

Let me tell what I feel.

Some of NMmap Scripts are now moving on for vulnerability scanning.
Those scripts are a smallest subset of what Nessus is now doing.

I have no idea why NSE folks write scripts that re-invent the wheel.

Although I appreciate that we have two options to validate the results,
a great deal of time will be wasted if NSE folks are
writing/converting Nessus plugins to NSEs.

Please explain me so that I can put in your shoes.
