You can have all the batteries-included philosphy in the world, if the
developers don't come to create all those libraries.

Likewise, you can be set against "batteries included", yet be able to do
nothing to stop an army of developers creating a package ecosystem.

Philosophy does dick all, basically.

Many current tools are structured completely contrary to the original
philosophy behind their creation.  Things that were supposed to be
simple and small are anything but.

People will crap on your worthless philosophy and do whatever they want.
