If you are finding yourself having to switch between some of the applications just to get a simple task done then those applications, at least, would do well to be merged.
But beware at the other end we have some applications that have evolved over time to the extent that we are looking to break them apart as the application has become more like a swiss army knife. An anti pattern where lots of unrelated utilities become combined into a single package for no better reason than 'thats how its always been' Best to examine your work flow, if you use a few of the applications together to do something (particularly if the applications have no real utility outside being used together) then you have a candidate for merging. Just avoid merging things just to cut down the number of applications. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
