It doesn't mean you have to use them all, but on the other hand, you would hope that if you were going to replace one of them entirely you'd go with something with a significant advantage (and I'd argue in some cases it has gone the opposite way). > What you want is a vast ecosystem of small composable lego bricks. Understood. I just don't think you help yourself much if you take out one brick and replace it with one of your own, particularly if the new brick isn't any better than the old one (and might be worse).
