There is good reason for the acronym K.I.S.S; keep it simple silly!

Also this is the same reason Linux was designed the way it is and why people programming on Linux tend to stick to the way of thinking of "Make something to do one thing only, and do it well."

Lots of tools that are good at doing thier one job well is better than a jack of all trades tool. This doesnt mean things cant be automated this way either it just takes a bit more planning.
