Can you please list the benefits of XlsxWriter over openpyxl and xlrd xlwt?

As far as I can see, XlsxWriter only writes .xlsx files, while openpyxl can 
read and write them. xlrd and xlwt enable to read and write the older .xls 
files. I don't see how XlsxWriter would replace any of them.

I propose to add "Xlsxwriter" module while keeping the other modules intact. I 
think Xlsxwriter can handle charts in Excel in much better way than openpyxl.
