There have been a few people that have claimed this.  However, I've yet 
to see any sound examples where the simple tools combined together for a 
task were not better at it than some (as you put it) "bloatware" 
package.  I'm sure it goes without saying, but just to make 100% we are 
comparing "best-of-breed" applications here right?

What is so bad about GPL'ing something?  Personally, if I decide to give 
away my code (which I have), I like knowing that any enhancements to it 
are public domain.

Just curious.
