Two reasons for me mainly. vS-IP has official stopped in it's development now according to the hack release thread and further development that suit my needs for this particular add-on would be a lot easier for me to do myself, as it is a single add-on so less script for me to muck up.
Of course, if someone was to release a fully AJAX'd version of this individual hack, with all the bells and whistles already in place, such as PMing and the likes, i'd be very tempted to swap. But I can't be dealing with disabled plugins and the likes, as you have suggested, it gets too messy for me.
That's what makes vb.org and the community so great in my opinion though, we have choices thanks to those that do the hard work and do the initial code for these things, saving people like me weeks and months having to do it all the hard way. :)
