there is no such thing as a humble opinion

if it is an essential pkg for a niche (i.e. molecular biology) and a 
dev is using it, then why not offering it officially?

exactly

that happens to be, yes.

stop being humble :) ... try being human :D

why distinguish between the ones from gnome and kde and the rest?

"rarely used scientific packages" - can you compare the usage of such 
a pkg to e.g. scribus? please show me the numbers of stats of the 
last year in the arch community, and i will immediately agree to your 
statement.
