Completely agree. The micro thing is rooted in a desire for simplicity, which is laudable from a theoretical perspective. Small is simple and simple is nice to work with. But in any production software it's usually a pipe dream. Kind of the whole point of software is to take a bunch of complexity and make it simpler for the end user. The fact that the software visually looks like shit or is difficult to work with because it's difficult to reason about is a rather unfortunate side-effect, but usually has no bearing on actual business success. There are lots of things we should try to do to reduce software complexity and make it easier and safer to work with and change. But trying to force simplicity by way of size usually has the opposite effect.
