Here I think the Unix philosophy applies 100%. For complicated and insanely big (and super-interactive) software like text editors, e-mail clients, shells, and so on, it is OK to have Emacs, vim, Gnus, Rmail, bash, zsh and what have you but for a small piece of software that does a limited range of things - it shouldn't be encouraged, put it that way. -- underground experts united
