I agree. There is a price to be paid for tightly coupled system. I forgot but there was this good book on mathematics that paul graham recommended. That book talks about the fact that every 100 years in mathematics there is an explosion of innovation and then at the end of a period there is integration. Having diversity is how things improve - its also the basic law of physics - entropy. By creating chaos we learn more about how to do things better, either it be software or mathematics. So to those software craftsman who are complaining about diversity - grow up, this is how all of science works.
