I believe both point of view are correct:

(1) a user should be provided with an application that does very well  
*1* thing. He shouldn't be distracted by the availability of other  
functionalities that he doesn't need.

(2) the extraordinary potential of revolution I see is that each one  
of these "specialized" application can be conceived as a "module".  
And if we think the problem well enough, we can start having the  
output of one module being the input of another one. The reason why I  
flashed on revolution  is that it can provide three important  
features: object organisation, complete interoperability between  
objects, and the ease to extend an application to better suit your  
own needs.


On the inspiration application... I am not sure it is that easy to  
program with revolution. I mean it may take up to a week of  
programming, full time ;-)
