Combined power/team work is always better than all these projects alone.


However you can overdo this mantra. I have seen complaints in the Linux world because some people wrote their own tool instead of contributing to a commonly used tool. But if you look at Emacs, KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice and GIMP you will realize that they are bloated and inefficient compared to the alternatives that where created by non teamworking individuals who had a different concept (larswm, amiwm, xfig, ...). I believe that it is best to have both: teamwork and competition. If this leads to Vi vs. Emacs flamewars - so it be!
