I think the future are tools tailor made for specific kind of tasks . The age of IDEs and Languages has come to an end. Neither programming languages and IDEs can maintain the complexity of modern software. They are too generic.I think that what we need is a UNIX system but with GUIs , a collection of tools that can talk to each other but at the same time have an extremely limited scope as tools. Smalltalk definitely moves towards that direction but even Smalltalk is far from that goal.
I see that paradigm a lot in 3d art, it raises the amount of knowledge required because you end up with learning hundreds of tools contained in a single application but if you want professional results and you are dead serious about efficiency and productivity then its the way to go. I will install DFlow and help you in your saga, but bare in mind that DFlow will tell you what I use and I how , but it wont answer you the most important question "what I want to use and how I want to use it" .
