I don't classify the FFS with CLI improvements, but rather as a fix for a fundamental flaw in the system itself (namely an incredibly poorly written DOS). Other than this, and the new printing system (which is also merely a fix for a poor initial design), the only changes in WB 1.3 _are_ CLI changes. New CLI commands, pipes, AUX device, RAD device, and so on are nice, but are useful only to CLI users (with the possible exception of the RAD device, but even with it you need knowledge of startup sequences and MountLists to even make it available to Workbench). Other than the fix for system flaws (FFS and printer system), just about everything else in WB 1.3 seems to be nothing more than cute hacks that Andy (or whoever) thought would be _neat_ to include. Not what I would call a sound strategy for product enhancements, nor something I would call an _official_ new revision of the OS.
