Make each tool do one thing well is still good advice.
We don't need any software to be a Swiss Army Knife, a bunch of bad tools stuffed together into the same tool. We do not have a space constraint with software tools.
In software, if you put lots of tools together, you make it confusing and hard to use with other tools.
You don't wind up with multiple good tools. You have a bad one.
