I am sincere. You seem to not understand the concept of context. I show a
feature and you modify your system to have THAT feature. I show another and
you modify your system to have the new one but not the old. What I am
talking about is having all these features: a whole suite of integrated
tools.

Does not mean, of course, that your system should be like mine. Maybe you
want a different set of tools - the different man tools, for example, seem
to interest you more than they do me. And I like a Facebook share but not a
Twitter. Maybe you like the other. But the overall point is not to be able
to do ONE of these tasks as a time but a system that gives you efficiency in
all of the ones you want.

Again, a long and rambling video, but I point that out here:
