This relies on composability, integrating together several such components into a coherent whole.
Users don't understand composability or want to do it. They want the integration to already exist and just work.

- Barrin92 7y agoto be fair not every developer likes it either. Not to start the traditional flamewar but I've always been a much bigger fan of emacs than of vim precisely because it gives me a powerful, integrated environment rather than a set of distinct tools. You could also compare wechat to traditional isolated apps, and in my opinion well integrated platforms trump collections of tools almost always.
