You shouldn't have provided that list. It's more of an indictment really. Nearly every one of those applications listed appear very low quality, and very poorly designed, developed by hobbyists. Be serious, those applications are hardly a credible comparison to the wealth of superior, high quality, well designed commercial EDU software packages available, which are used by educators daily? Is it?
Let's see...which to choose; Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing...or a lame open source derived application with a charming name like Gnu_XcT_type_l34rNiN6. But hey, it's free...right? You get what you pay for, and there's a big difference between priceless and worthless. It's in knowing the difference that counts.
