CDC does all those things too (oh, except the solar-system view)
In CDC the RA and DEC and Alt-Azi for the mouse pointer are in the bottom left of the window, or, right click the item of interest and select "Identification : Nearest Object"
For the rotation, click the stopwatch icon, an 'animate' window will popup.
You can also track items like the moon and comets etc, eg: right click the moon, select "Track Moon", the 'Animate' window will popup.
Handy for finding Occultations(sp?) and getting timing info for future eclipses etc.

But , whichever you prefer... OK
