gollark: Firefox's nice thing where you can fuzzy-search open tabs in the omnibar, and the ability to write extensions which interact with tabs, and ctrl+click technology, would probably all be harder if it had to do a ton of IPC calls for everything.
gollark: I'm sure everyone wants 12905712591 forked packages to manage.
gollark: Shipping important functionality via patches means it's really hard to get useful precompiled things in distro repos, and you can't easily stick things in separate programs without compromises.
