AFAIK no other connector exists that has the communication features or ease of use of SCART. And SCART may well be technically inferior to other connectors but it's more than good enough for 90% of AV users. It's only when you start playing with projectors and plasma screens that anyone is going to notice any difference, and people who have that kind of kit can afford to buy kit with component connectors and not have to worry about the inadequacies of SCART.
