Since you're experienced with freeware, you're aware that the goal
is to have as few programs as possible that get the job done.

I'm not "aware" of that, in fact I disagree. I would far rather
have a larger number of dedicated programs, than a single
jack of all trades.

I suppose the goal is not to have a single program,
tha is able to do everything.....

the goal is to get whatever is necessary to do what the user needs to
do, not meet some goal of having the most or the fewest apps.
