The more I experiment with quickly coding up little projects with LLMs the more I am convinced of this. There is that saying: 90% of your customers use 10% of your software's features, but they each use a different 10%. Well, the ability to quickly vibe up a small bespoke app that does that 10% AND NOTHING ELSE is here now, and it kind of solves that problem. We don't need to put up with DoEverythingBloatWare (even open source DoEverything) when you can just have the bits and pieces you actually want/need.
Also, you don't have to fear breaking updates--you know for sure that the software's UI will not just change out from under you because some designer had to pad their portfolio. Or that you're not going to lose a critical feature because the developer decided to refactor and leave it out.
I'm currently going through and looking at some of the bigger, bloated, crashing slow-moving software I use and working on replacements.
