Whats so bad about this? FOSS is much about choice, isn't it? Why
shouldn't the user have the choice to select from different tools? In my
humble opinion it does not make so much sense to pack those tools
together just to have less packages.

Why don't you buy a cow, if you want a bottle of milk? Because you don't
need it. And you don't want it. So why force the user to install a lot
of (for him) useless tools if they just need and want one package that
does the job nice? Also it makes it much harder for users to *find* the
tools they need.

Just my 2 cents.
