Welcome to the benevolent wiki!

Purpose is to create a useful and easy to setup development environment. These are the requirements:

  1. Open source
  2. One job; one tool
  3. Simplicity

Further explaination as follows.

Open source

Obvious, isn't it? Proprietary code is the root of evil. Or one of them at least.

One job; one tool

Many softwares aim to be all mighty. They are usually bad in the sense that they can do a lot of stuff, but they can't do anything really really good.

Tools that only do one thing are often very good at that one thing.

Simplicity

If there is a choice between two tools that do the same thing, pick the simplest one fulfilling the job.

Don't bloat

Really a sub paragraph of simplicity. Use as simple tools as possible as well!
