GTween vs MovieClip vs Texture Pack/Bird Animation Examples

There are several Gideros example projects that I don't understand their purpose. "Graphics/Bird Animation" and "Graphics/Texture Pack" both show ways of creating animated sprites. However, that is what appears to be the purpose of MovieClip. There is no example of MovieClip (that I could find).
Similarly confusing to me is that MovieClip has tween abilities but there is an example of the gtween.lua and easing.lua files instead.
Are these things overlapping? Is there a reason Texture Pack and Bird Animation don't use MovieClip? Is there a reason for including GTween instead of using MovieClip? I realize that GTween can tween anything with a .get and .set method, but I'm wondering why there is no example of MovieClip and if it is suppose to do similar things.

I prefer using MovieClip over BirdAnimation example, simply because you need to write less code and it provides nice functions on controlling the animation.
About difference between Gtween and MovieClip. Well Gtween provides much more options, as for example on end events, reverse animation, etc.
I use Gtween when I don't need to deal with frames.
But yeah, it would be great to hear from @atilim, the history of creating objects and why they are overlapping.
There was a discussion about that topic if I remember well :
Movie Clip vs Gtween Hope it helps.
