Why? Ok, that depends. For programmers, it's definitely worthwhile to look at existing protocols, what they do and how it's achieved. RTMP has definitely some nice aspects but it's overly complex. Adobe did some bad design choices but I'd rate RTMP just like HTTP. Both work but are far from being ideal.

Speaking as a developer, I don't even use
rtmpdump by itself unless I'm testing something new. Usually I use
get-flash-videos. I.e., for actual use, you almost always want to write some wrapper to handle the details for you. The real point, regarding the thread topic, is you can easily build anything else (including a GUI) on top of a good CLI tool. You cannot do the opposite.
