Mmm, please read again what I wrote. The problem is not to reuse code, but to
redevelop a very similar software instead of contribute, for unclear reasons.
I didn't minimize Hadacek efforts, just told his approach is a waste of
energy.
The "neat" result is we now have 2 similar programs, under the same
environment: where is the beauty here?
Do you really think that the sum of functionnalities
offered by these 2 softwares developed by 2 different persons
is greater than the functionnalities that would have been developed by
these two persons working on the same program?

Sure! As everybody does in such a project.
