There is the "buzzword compliance" syndrome, once it was that 
everything had to be object-oriented, now things have to be web-enabled
and the browser is the new OS, no matter how unsuited it is to the task
at hand.

This buzzword compliance leads to a "one size fits all" philosophy that
will never work. If "one size fits all" does not work for something as
simple as socks, how can it be made to work for something as complex and
varied as software?
