It's not really a question of mutual exclusion. Let's look at the facts: So far, within the R&D constraints of CBM, and the interests of developers, *only* CLI improvements have been going on. Why? What Workbench improvements were made in 1.3? I'd say they pale, and were done half-heartedly, as compared to the effort that went into the file system, for example. Most users can't even begin to understand all that has to be done to make the transition to FFS and 1.3. I even know developers and smart users who had a hard time getting it going – how can we say it improves things for Joe User? It was just another thing that forced them to the CLI and 'ed'. You made a chicken-and-egg argument in the last part, there. What did you mean to say? You said, when WB gets good, people will start paying attention to it… meanwhile, they aren't.
