Better than? Not necessarily disagreeing, but I'm not sure what the alternatives even are at the same level of abstraction. I mean, there's PNNL's global arrays [1] but that's higher level, or Sandia Portals [2] which is lower/transport level.. Perhaps there are newer/alternative options I don't know about?
