I'd rather not run a partitioner at the same time I'm running an OS.  Too many 
things can go wrong and quite often you're faced with a need to run it on 
bare-metal  anyway....   I prefer stand-alone.

No one has mentioned Acronis Disk Director which run a linux kernel and 
supports almost all of the file formats except XFS.  And XFS will be coming 
along as soon as they implement a later kernel.
