Apologies then. I don't think it's that people are unaware of alternatives at large, rather, that tcplay is a limited option at best. If you're using Linux, or DragonFly, or even Tails, then sure, it should work fine (which is likely why it's being considered as a replacement in Tails), but it doesn't have stated support for OS X, Windows, etc. TrueCrypt, on the other hand (despite whatever else ails it) is supported on all of the above.
