- You can't compare programs this way. Why don't you REALLY look at how much
- memory MUI is taking instead of comparing two, seemingly 'similair' programs?
- Mosaic is crap, using this program as an example of MUI's capabilities is
- really low.
-
- Anyway, the memory is justified by extra features, and as GadTools and
- Intuition don't take memory you can't really make it a fair comparison either.
- Why don't you compare speed and features instead?
-
- EV> Is it really that difficult to understand that there are people who
- EV> don't like MUI?
-
- No, they are entitled to their opinions. Most MUI haters though don't seem to
- know what they are talking about (as if they haven't REALLY tested the product)
- and just scream bad things about it without justification.
