But ... the correct way is to merge, right, because the
solution should be in terms of the problem, not what
technology happens to make it possible?

The more the merrier! Emacs, Linux (GNU/Linux) and zsh, all
maximalist projects, like that song. I wouldn't go so far as

player in her on right.

So bring everything in and have the interface sort it out ...
