In reply to Richard Muscat.

I've offered my opinion on this to many people in the Jetpack project including Matt himself, going all the way back to when it first launched. So I can't tell you anything which the project hasn't been made repeatedly aware of previously.

My primary reason for disliking it, is that it took a bunch of extremely good WordPress plugins which I loved and recommended to everyone and replaced them with one giant bloated tool which includes everything plus the kitchen sink.

IMO, the best plugins are simple plugins which solve one purpose. Jetpack tries to solve everything. Many of the individual components are great, but as a cohesive unit I consider it nothing more than a piece of marketing.

I think the individual components should be maintained separately from the core plugin, so that users can install them individually if they like, then have them bundled together into Jetpack so you can keep the marketing and branding which seems to work so well. The Jetpack team seems totally disinterested in this approach though.
