I disagree in general with your second point. Yeah, sure, this could make sense in some situations, but many tools and products exist for the sole reason that they offer a superior workflow and smoother experience than their existing counterparts.

Wasn't there that classic HN post about users not needing Dropbox because any Linux user could do the same with rsync?

Sure, if you’re replacing functionality/processes then you’re right.

I was thinking of adding/integrating new processes. That’s imho the harder task because you usually have less data to work with.
