Well, not all subtitle problems can be solved by guessing simple shifts.
In some cases, you _have_ to work with something interactive and see
results on the fly.

Also, sometimes subtitles need to be written based on existing
hard-coded ones (e.g. you want their translation). How can you do this
without good tools? If you can do this by running mplayer in one window
and text editor in other and think this is comfortable way, I
congratulate you ;)
