Frankly I dont get the appeal. And I've also used these in a really polished env (a company rhyming with schmookle) where decades of r&d had gone into building this. Where these are useful (though a pain to use) is if you have to work on a system whose components that cannot be built individually. Ie you need a production grade spanner, and env with all of the 15 microservice dependencies with their 15 dependencies each with their 15 dependencies each and so on. At this point id question if I want to be this tiny piece of a tiny cog in a tiny gear among a billion gears in the huge clunky machine (comp and bottom layer of Maslow hierarchy aside).
