This is a great example of the blessing/curse of gnu/linux. On the one hand, freedom and infinite flexibility. On the other hand... There’s is no high level structure or plan as a whole. Linux is only the kernel, and distributions set up the userspace in varying ways. So development is inherently fractured into numerous similar projects. These projects leap frog and replace each other over time. But there is a lot of effort spent in reinventing the wheel. Sometimes I wish that, for example, we could all settle on one window manager. Everyone could put efforts in the same direction, and make it awesome. Of course in reality that would never work, but in some ways it would be nice to see the same amount of refinement and consistency in the userspace as in the kernel.
