I have seen countless problems because apps are using dynamic linking 
and whole IT environements getting into DLL hell. IMO one of the worst 
ideas these days.

How simple would it be to just have one self-contained executable?

And all the Docker hype is doing / simulating this with a sledgehammer.

I prefer to link everything static, and it saved us and our clients 
hours of headache. Drivespace is no limiting factor anymore, but time 
and customer satisfaction is always.
