Don't be so paranoid, you seldom get comprehensive lists of the tools that are available. 
I started using drive imaging 13 years ago, before Symantec bought and subsequently 
butchered Ghost. A few years later Acronis came along, and Ghost refused to even 
run on two of my computers, so I switched to Acronis. At that time I think those 
were the only two drive imaging programs available. Another one by Powerquest had 
come and gone. 

So now I have something that still works. Most of us here operate under the premise 
that if it's not broke, don't fix it. If I were not already using Acronis, I'd look 
at all the free products, but I already own Acronis, so why waste time fixing something 
that works perfectly?

In fact, DriveImage often comes up on a recommended list, but you don't read enough 
posts to have noticed that. Just because everyone doesn't use it doesn't make it 
bad. Most were simply using something else long before it was ever published.
