So what exactly is the sc2gears private streamer for? Why would anyone use that over like xsplit+twitch?

Those "fully-functional, satisfactory" services exist for quite some time now, yet not everyone who would like to stream uses them...
They are often not trivial to setup and use. The streaming feature in Sc2gears literally can be started with one click. Another reason can be not everyone wants to run 10 supplementary software while playing Starcraft II. Also many of those cannot be viewed on all platforms (like cell phones). Sc2gears streaming solves this problem.

This streaming feature does not want to be a replacement or a contender to the streaming services, as this is unique and different in many aspects. Sc2gears streaming will never replace a service where there are many (tens, hundreds or thousands of) clients, since in this case the streaming server is your computer. This is more like a private video streaming feature (exactly what its name states) to share your screen or activity with your friend(s).
If you want to show something to your friend, let's say how to setup Sc2gears or how to analyze your games, you would not register on twitch and download their client, install it etc. just so you can show your live action to your friend. With Sc2gears, you just click once, send the link to your friend, and your goal is achieved.

As to "would require more resources than just a one-man-team": I'd say Sc2gears itself (including the Sc2gears Database, Parsing service etc.) without the video streaming feature is also more than a one-man job (bigger than the feature in question), yet I think it's doing okay.

Has Dakota been contacted by Blizzard yet? I know I've said this before but this program is too epic to not get a nod from I would think.

Dakota, your SC2gears is really a terrific tool !

The new private streaming is a great feature, and I am trying to use it to record my games and look at my mechanics. This works perfectly by saving it to a file. The only problem is that I don't see the mouse cursor positions when I look at the video, it seems like the mouse cursor during the game is not registered. Would this be something you can add ?

TyPsi5, I have the same problem with VLC, but with Windows Media Player it works fine, so I just use WMP

Terrific equals to "incredible" or "amazing" :D

Just updated and it works great. I have to say though, I don't like the new private stream thing. It seems like that is such a large undertaking that it should be in its own program. It also has nothing to do with replay analysis. But then that is just me.

Any chance on every making it the multi-replay analysis can tell you the win rate of your last (10|20|50) games vs a certain race?

Yes, mouse cursor could be added...

Btw, "terrific"means bad. Did you really mean to say that? Or you meant the opposite just used the wrong word?

I don't know if it has been already answered but can we see with SC2gear the difference between F-keys and move screen ?

No, that's not available in the replay data.
