Regarding the article, I think that "small" tools are better for scripting (but they should be made scripting-friendly; many Linux CLI tools are not), and complicated tools are better for usage by humans.
For example, take a word processor. You probably don't want to use one tool to type the text, then copy it into another tool for spell checking, into third tool to add equations, fourth tool to find and download clipart images, and so on. You want to have everything integrated.
