CompuServe Messages

It appears that my message was misinterpreted. I meant to say that most Amiga developers and hackers are apparently not concerned with the failings of Workbench, and would rather devote their energy to a gaggle of CLI hacks. I wasn't necessarily faulting applications that don't integrate with the Workbench. Workbench issues should have been addressed in 1.2 and 1.3, instead of hoping for them to happen in 1.4. The faults have been there all along. Instead of talking about the flaws, too many people have been hung up in relatively meaningless CLI-comp-sci "improvements". Those things are complicated, too, and look at the effort thrown at them. As meant to say, ten years from now, when people (probably us) are sitting around over a beer talking about the Amiga's failings, we aren't going to say it died because the LIST command didn't recurse, or have a certain option, we're going to remember that Joe User was forced to the CLI to install a printer driver or do a certain kind of file copy, or forced to the CLI to install a program on a hard disk.
