I know that most may think me a heretic for this, but personally I
prefer a group of programs that each do their work very well to a single,
sorta-does-all, all-sorta-dancing program.  All singing, all dancing programs
tend to be vastly larger, far slower to load, have more bugs, and present
more security "holes" than the smaller ones.  As long as I can "cut and
paste" between applications, that's generally sufficient for most purposes.

Flames for my being a heretic should be addressed to /dev/null  :-)
