Yeah, I understand.  But you need something to build tools on.  No sense 
inventing a graphics toolkit for your notes application.

In some cases the platform you build on is the browser.  It's like the 
shell in some ways--a frame to building your apps in.  I'm not sure I'd 
say bash does one thing and does it well.  Maybe it depends how complex 
the one thing can be.
