I completely agree with you, Gabe, so you aren't spitting. Workbench may have a mouse and icons, but it's no Mac. Workbench and CLI are amazingly inconsiderate, and there are many commonly executed tasks for which there are no Workbench equivalents, whereupon the Guru recommends the use of the CLI, which only leads to more confusion and inconsistencies. I don't think we should blame Commodore for this one. I think we should blame Amiga developers. Look where they continue to devote their attention, into little CLI hacks, and obscure applications that require a computer science degree to exploit. Sure, some say "programmers are users too", but all users are not programmers. Why make anything more complicated than it need be? Programmers are supposedly more computer literate, yet they shrink away from "simpler" solutions like a more usable Workbench. More and more, I don't think it will be said that Commodore that killed the Amiga, instead, the developers and hackers will be rightly blamed.
