Are you trolling?
You can’t seriously compare a software with it’s own executable and own focus and features to using or not a single feature of one of those apps.

As I pointed out my point is that when there were no problems in the other areas before and are not now, why merge them? One could as easily just keep it the way it is.
Where dependencies come in (writer -> base) you’ll make them dependent on installation as well.

I get your point, but you should be able to get mine as well.
