There's plenty of resistance to, say, malware. That still gets
developed.

I'd suggest it's more likely that those 'right tools' haven't yet been
developed because, at best, they're complicated and difficult tools to
write, to the point where no-one's yet seen them as worth developing.


If there were a tool that was good enough to completely replace
text-file config, I would be incredibly interested in it.
