While I completely sympathize with your position - be careful what you wish for. “but there needs to be only one thing chosen” has driven a lot of people and organizations to simply restrict themselves to a single corporation’s (like Microsoft) offerings and we all know that doesn’t lead to “best of breed tools” either. Open Source Software tends towards a proliferation of alternatives

True, but by ‘one thing’ I mean one style that everything can follow, I.E. a standard.

@peerreynders

That being said I think that an environment which fosters “does only one thing but it does it well” contributions would be ideal - basically an build/asset management tool that follows the PostCSS model - some of the more commonly needed services are provided to plugins but the plugins do most of the dirty work.

That is basically how they all work, but all the plugins work differently in each system, there is no sharing of code and there is a massive duplication of efforts.

@peerreynders

The other issue is that people will often gravitate towards the solution that looks like its the fastest/easiest to learn/adopt, not because it best serves their needs.

Yeah… >.>
