Too many important parts of the CSS tooling ecosystem are owned by only a single person.
This isn't ideal.
It is very rare for a single person to produce high quality software over very long stretches of time.
It is much more common that the software will be sub-par in at least some area's and that eventually their interest will drop and they move on.
A multi-person team, each with different backgrounds tends to produce better results over longer stretches of time.
