"
8) One tool for one job? - by sczimme
Given the nature of current operating systems and applications, do you think the
idea of "one tool doing one job well" has been abandoned? If so, do you think a
return to this model would help bring some innovation back to software development?

(It's easier to toss a small, single-purpose app and start over than it is to
toss a large, feature-laden app and start over.)

Pike:
Those days are dead and gone and the eulogy was delivered by Perl.
