And add the fuzzer for SQL and PHP, the ease of pentesting through mail either using attachments or links, the SDK to add your own modules and the toolbox Core Security has added into Impact.

Talking about the exploits themselves is so wrong when discussing these frameworks. And as Erin is pointing out, some of the exploits has a huge amount of targets...

This doesn't mean I don't like or use Metasploit, Canvas or any other...I just want to point out that the quality of a product is not based a number, and Core Impact has proven its quality many times, and in many ways.

Core Impact is fine, but what about the other 400 exploits packaged
with CANVAS, Gleg/Argeniss, and Metasploit?  I haven't even included
the CANVAS sharing alliance or D2 pack statistics, which I don't
really have readily available.  Core Impact barely has 200 exploits
all by itself.

Core is currently at 463 modules with 661 exploit target entry points. But your point about other applications to look at is valid, especially Canvas. Metasploit is great when you want to play with the code guts etc but if you require spiffy reports it is not the app's forte.

Just sayin'
