I want to see good, small, focused tools that are highly polished and (user) tested, and fit into a bigger ecosystem that can be mashed up and adapted on the fly to fit the task you have. Just porting existing mega-apps doesn’t seem appealing at all. They are still going to be as inflexible and overwhelming, and much rougher around the edges.

i wish i could use the shell this way; some of my colleagues could pipe things in between /usr/bin utilities all day for things i'd need a script for

I think eventually the smaller focused tools will win the market by a wide margin. But for now, there is huge demand for open-source and free alternatives to mega apps. Especially for the education/non-profit sector.
