"If you think about it, if your code is small and clean, you wouldn’t feel the need for shared libraries."

Yes you would, for any sane definition of "small and clean". Code can't be made arbitrarily small; some problem spaces are fundamentally complex.

For what it's worth I have played around some with dynamic libraries and with FUSE, and I found the former incomparably easier to work with. Maybe that speaks more to FUSE in particular than to the idea in general (or maybe it's just me being bad at FUSE), but that's been my experience.
