1. I think your points are valid
2. To some extent email/addressing/calendar often interact with the same
entities
e.g. email a person
send something to them
schedule something with them
While this make monolithism an easy choice, I agree little program with
appropriate
hooks to each other (or an alternate tool) is more elegant
