WASTE does do things that the other clients do not, specifically for file sharing. I agree it's not the greatest when it comes to IM. The other file sharing methods you mention do not allow for easy 2-way transfer (except FTP but we know the flaws in that protocol). It allows you not only to download from other people, but to 'push' files to them as well. The WASTE protocol also handles relaying of messages so that multiple clients behind a firewall can still connect to WASTE networks on the outside.
