This is precisely why Zoom is acquiring Keybase. Zoom seeks to become the single "remote work tool", challenging Dropbox, et al. directly.
I'm particularly disenchanted with the growth of these multipurpose tools, but I am not their target audience. (Nor, I suspect, are many HN participants, but this is a baseless guess.) I suppose I'm more of an adherent to so-called "UNIX philosophy"--the best, single-purpose tool for each task, preferably that can be combined with its like for a solution customizable to how a specific user gets work done.

Maybe they should work on the fact I can run Zoom in screen share and just about nothing else. Just entering a call for me takes ~75% of my CPU and I beach ball regularly when screen sharing lightweight text editors doing barely more than scrolling and typing.
