It might be proper to mention why modules is popular in its description
since few may know about it:

When you have several versions of the same software, in a mixed POSIX
environment, but still have the same home directory for all these POSIX
system, you need to be able to switch between the different versions
of the software by altering the system path. Modules solves this.
Administrators put in different versions and releases of software at
different paths (typically on a fileserver), configures modules with
the paths and then let the user switch in and out the different 
versions and releases for the currently running operating system from
the command line.
