Damn. Nice.
This article is really true, and is terrible news for Microsoft. Many great applications do one thing well.
Github --> source control (and issue track, ok whatever).
Dropbox --> File storage on devices
Sublime --> Code editing
MailChimp --> Email Marketing
Hopefully, the days of doing everything within one program are over. The "microsoft word can build a website" concept needs to die hard.
Developers have always been building on top of people's solved problems, but we are slowly learning to formalize that into a sustainable business agreement via API, which is exceedingly good for the pace of growth.
A good application over the next few years might take Twilio, Mailchimp, Dropbox, and Github and add something uniquely special on top.
