I know people write these kinds of programs and I write these kinds of programs, but the obvious solution to this predicament is that we should have more, simpler tools so that instead of a combinatorial mess of options, you get a collection of composable tools.

People want to solve their problems in the simplest way possible.

They will only use composition if there isn’t a tool that solves the problem by itself.
