The beauty of PSFRAG is that one can divorce the graphic from the .tex file. Often, graphics are made for overheads etc and later recycled in a .tex file. I might only then decide what font I want for the figure, or indeed the .cls might do it for me (perhaps redefining times from roman to default etc). It would be silly to recreate the plot, which in some cases might mean a lot of effort, every time I change fonts in my document!!!!!!! The whole beauty of TeX/LaTeX is macros; I don't want to hard-wire fonts into anything! Also, most plotting programs don't (and shouldn't?) have the power of LaTeX for labelling! With PSFRAG, I can also make text invisible if I want and so on. Or I might use a plot in one paper with one notation and the same plot, say for a semi-popular talk, with a different notation.
