If it helps to think of Calibre as a "toolkit," then, instead of a single monolithic app, I'm all for it.
It's funny, if they released a version of Calibre that had only the bins you mentioned and omitted the GUI entirely, it would probably be held in much higher esteem among the HN community.

It got a lot worse of a reaction than an earlier and worse version of the same tool where I ran it from the command line.
