It also allows to keep a lot of iinformation together.

Here again Core Rules dwarfs PCGen then if you were unable to add your own material, because within the few limitations it has it could create anything for use with the game and store it in its database.
Er, what? I added quite a lot of my own stuff to PcGen over the course of years. I have also contributed to official PcGen material (though not the part published by CMP).

PCGen required purchasing databases to upgrade your product didn't it? or was that eTools, or both?
PcGen is freely available Open Source product:
PCGen :: Overview

Wait...didn't you say you stopped buying books because of PCGen?
Yes, he did since he purchased commercial datasets released by Code Monkey Publishing.
