*arr apps don’t do one thing.

• They cook their own authentication system.
• They manage trackers, indexers, etc.
• They download files automatically.
• They track upcoming releases.
• They rename files automatically.

*arr apps don’t do one thing well.

• They require extensive configuration due to insensible defaults.
• They require manual intervention from time to time even with a good configuration.
• They can’t even fulfill their purpose. Bazarr shits the bed with anime.

*arr apps don’t handle text streams.

But I think the Unix philosophy is flawed anyways. It’s like the metaverse: When a metaverse succeeds, they attribute that success to the metaverse as a concept. When a metaverse fails, they attribute the failure to that metaverse, not the metaverse as a concept. Now substitute metaverse with unix utility and the metaverse as a concept with the unix philosophy.
