Oh, is that what you meant? Like I said, I didn't mention or blame any
product, I was talking about the outward action and interest of developers.
I see little concern with the *real* problems of the Amiga, from Joe User's
point of view.
Have you ever *seen* InterChange? It's one of the few products that works
only on the Workbench screen. How many others can you think of? Modules
will run from the CLI, but it doesn't accept command line arguments. You
have to do everything from the Workbench. Why, we even use icons. With
InterFont, project icons launch the application.
I wasn't saying that developers should be developing products to cover up
the flaws in Workbench. Products aside, in what direction do developers
push Commodore? Towards the CLI and Unix-like hacks. User interface
concerns are very rarely mentioned, and I've never seen any Stanford grad
stand up and say the Amiga really needs a Workbench method of installing
printer drivers, or a way to switch Workbenches on a one-drive system…
