Amen. It is very difficult to design a software program that does one thing well let alone a dozen things well. For example, I would much rather have Xtreme be an excellent drawing program rather than a pretty good drawing program and a mediocre bitmap editor and a mediocre page layout program and a mediocre animation program.

I wish more projects/companies would stop trying to be all things to all people and focus on doing one thing really really well. Combine that with good support for moving my data around so that I can choose the best tool for the job and I'm a happy camper. I'm sure most companies dream of having a vertically integrated product stack just like Adobe but lets face it most of them don't have the resources to pull it off.
