Because the single-system paradigm doesn't work any more. However, modern replacements do exist, Airtable is one of the first; it's basically the notion of a "spreadsheet with more structure", and then building forms and such on top of that. I've recently been playing with Grist and like it, although it is rough around the edges.

- keybits 3y agoI love Grist, and relevant to this discussion, it now has forms: https://www.getgrist.com/forms/ https://www.getgrist.com/forms/ Grist is open source, Python scriptable and each project is stored in a SQLite database.
