[WinMac] NT Services for Mac vs. Dave & PC MacLan?

I've read so many posts on WinMac regarding recommendations to use Dave, PC
MacLan and other additional networking software. I don't understand why
this is necessary.

My company has about 40 PCs and 3 Macs and we have both an NT 4.0 server (2
years) with services for Mac enabled as well as a Novell 3.1 server (6
years) with Mac name space. The Macs can read and write files to and from
both servers as well as print to the NT and Novell network shared printers.
The Macs can also share files between other Macs via AppleTalk. The Macs
can also use a company-wide shared TCP/IP connection for using the internet.

Why is Dave, PC MacLan or any additional networking software necessary when
AppleTalk, NT and Novell have all of this already built-in?
