    “but all interdependent”

    As it fucking should be! Yes the tools should be aware of each other. Yes the tools should be integrated. Yes, the tools should not have a bunch of different ways and formats for their config files.

    These are not optional components of a system. I’d rather they work together, instead of needing yet another project in between as a kludge

      The problem is that all of those interdependent parts and software that are dependent on it become entrenched. There is no freedom to replace individual parts with an alternative because something else will break. That’s what I call ‘Modular in theory, monolithic in practice’.
