To be honest I disagree. I've toyed with all of them and find them to be buggy and just plain difficult to use (from the perspective of someone who's never really dealt with command line interface much). PDFRasterfarian being the exception.
Something along the lines of ABC Amber is excellent - open source file, select format, press "go" and thats that. Idiot proof (call me an idiot if you may). At present most of the tools available simply aren't very user friendly and accesible to someone who isn't a coder or boffin. In this day and age I just can't be assed wafting through piles of documentation and forums to do something as simple as converting one text format to another when on the other hand I can edit HD Video or design a website without even opening the manual.
This is not to say that there hasnt been some fine work done on LRF conversion tools, but a lot of its aimed at a very technical audience.
