You are right. I was talking already about it with Andrea from 
HydroloGIS. This alternative must be considered.

In short term - agree.

My goal is not related to import/export routines, which for sure are 
also important. I don't treat QGIS just as GIS environment, but as 
potential modelling environment.
Very seldom products you are talking are comprehensive. What I propose, 
is to implement common interface on top of those products. This way 
implementation will be much easier, or not ;).
