It always amazes me how certain things push technology forward and how sometimes the very same motivations keep technology stagnant. Profit is just such a motivation.
The real power of technology is - and will be - in allowing us to do all our tasks in one place, with tools that can speak to each other and do all the dirty work for us. The problem is that when a software can do all that is needed - it wont make very much money. Open Source, is changing the way that developers think about technology - and allowing software to fill the broader application needs with out cost to the end user. But Open Source development is slow.
Until the future comes the kitchen industry will just have to suffer with multiple programs - but very soon on the horizon an "Epiphany" is bound to appear.
