The list of all other planeswalker types is: Bolas, Domri, Elspeth, Gideon, Karn, Koth, Nissa, Ral, Sarkhan, Sorin, Tamiyo, Tezzeret, Tibalt, Venser, and Vraska. Venser also have five, though some of them were named after him before he was a planeswalker...
Personally the major appeal is that a) you don't need to do complicated messy stuff to alter a search and b) you can have MagicCards.Info in your browser search bar.
Gatherer also makes it way hard to do search involving hybrid or phyrexian mana (although it doesn't allow for search by card marks). Amusingly, neither site is any good at all with search combining color and color identity criteria (there is no way to find monocolor green cards that have multicolor identity, for example).
MagicCards.Info
1) search options are much easier to fill in. in Gatherer everything has to be typed in in Advanced screen, even colors and types.
2) better results layout. i usually view as spoiler, which shows all results in one page.
3) just feels faster, less clustered. Gatherer is stuck in the past, was designed for 800x600 screens.
I have both Gatherer and Magiccards.info as quick searches in Chrome. (Right-click the URL bar and "Edit search engines".) I generally use Gatherer normally, but their search URLs include square brackets which are much harder to paste into Multiverse comments :) So I tend to use Gatherer for searches where all I'm going to want to paste in is the resulting cards' names, whereas if I want to paste the results of the actual search I'll use MCI.
(It is possible to link to a URL containing square brackets. You have to use the link format where you enter [link text][1], and then on a new line at the end of the comment enter [1]:my_long_url.)
Nice challenge. I like Link's idea of making a signature spell in each of the two colours of a two-colour planeswalker; I'll have a go at that sometime in the next day or two.
Signature spells as in Liliana's Reaver, Disciple of Bolas, Ajani's Chosen...
There are four cards for Ajani, five for Jace, four for Liliana, four for Chandra, and three for Garruk, so they're all out. There are nine named after Nicol Bolas, but only two signature spells, so he's fair game.

Out of curiosity, what's the appeal of magiccards.info over the Gatherer?

I made Ashiok's Awakening and Ashiok's Reaper.
And also Karn's Servitor.
