- When it makes sense to build them in, build them in. When it makes
- more sense to use some other application, designed for that task, use
- the other application. For example, I am quite happy using Voodoo for
- mail (I should be, since I wrote it, after all). I wouldn't be happy
- to use programs that wanted to do mail outside Voodoo, since I want it
- all in one place, and have Voodoo saving copies of sent messages. So,
- mail support in other programs would be bloat to me. Quite similarly,
- I have good tools for FTP and news (although for news the tool isn't
- on the Amiga), and I don't want to change them. Support for these in
- other programs would be useless waste of memory and development time.
