there is a lead programmer where I work, a fiercely intelligent man.. the kind of person you want to be an architect of a project.. the kind of man that invents solid things _ALWAYS_ says.
"Do a thing, do it well, do only that thing; if you build things stupid and predictable they can be robust and reliable"
He's a C++ Developer working on windows. Not some GNU nut.
intelligence is fine, but it's hard to code, does unpredictable things and becomes a burden.
also, you can turn Cron off, it's not like it's a required system, it doesn't even come enabled by default for desktop distros (such as would be used on a laptop)
I mentioned it because I am a GNU nut, not intended as a smear. But people like to shut down your "argument" when you start saying things that sound like the unix philosophy.
