- Almost all of your main objections seem to be to the Workbench. We
- all know it's a lousy program ... it took a major revision and a
- great many improvements to elevate it from virtually useless (1.x) to
- sorta okay (2.x).
-
- I guess there is a pretty strong case to be made for the idea that an
- awful lot of Amiga customers are won or lost just on the strengths
- and weaknesses of Workbench ...
-
- Personally I use Workbench a lot these days, but mostly just in ways
- that don't involve opening drawer windows. Like "Leave Out" icons,
- and the tools menu and ToolManager appicons.
