Modern 'Linux' systems are full of programs that violate Unix philosophy.

cdrecord, ffmpeg, emacs, dbus, imagemagick, all modern browsers ... the list goes on and on. plumber(4) does what dbus is trying to do, with very little amount of code and text file based rules.

I see it as a missed opportunity for linux kernel and hence to the wider audience to experience a computing environment that is a joy to use.
