Most of the answers I kind of had expected. It does show that going to that "one tool to rule them all" will always be hard and probably unreachable. I do see that a lot of you do see the value of having more tools than today in less interfaces than today. What I did found odd is that a few actually gave user-roles as a differentiator of the interfaces to use. I have to disagree on that entirely. It is a given that people in different roles have different needs of the processes to go through, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be doing it from the same interface. I think if you look at how the concept of the Microsoft System Center stack is built is a good example of how it could be done. I am absolutely not saying it is a finished and good interface today, but the concept should give you that opportunity.
