Gregory's ServerI think the thing people forget about the Unix philosophy is that not only something has to do one thing, but it has to do it well.
There's quite a bit of Unix-pholisophy stuff that fails to do their one job well

There's also edges of definition problem: what does "one job" actually mean?
One would probably expect a 'mail server' to be "one job", which a fairly reasonable expectation. But traditional Unix mail server is a dozen of different daemons, which is kinda defeats the whole purpose of the philosophy that was meant to make things simpler and eliminate unneeded moving parts.
