small-batch software always looks calmer on day one. one app does one thing, and that feels clean right up until you have to move data, teach someone else the workflow, or remember which tool owns what.
that’s the part i keep running into. the giant all-in-one app is annoying in a different way, but at least the mess is in one place. what do people actually prefer once a team has to live with it for a year or two?
