Isn't it like the whole point? You use a tool which is best for the job. Like in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy.



Did the Unix philosophy ever win out for end users? As far as the eye can see there's only integration. Microsoft Office is the most popular office suite, Photoshop integrates probably 1000 tools, etc.

The only place users have accepted a single tool for a single role seem to be mobile apps, because the interface is so limited.

At least that's my impression...
