Well, that's a fallacy right there. I'm running a monolithic application
at the moment called "pan", which is a newsreader.
I've got another fairly monolithic application called "firefox" running
in the background, and another called "OpenOffice" that's at the
standby. Also one called "Pidgin" which is an IM client.
None of these apps particularly *requires* any of the standard command-
line utilities on my OS for anything short of building it (if I should
desire to do so).
