Ambient uses MUI/ZUNE, Magellan does not.
A port of Ambeint improves the whole of AROS and gives access to even more software in the long run, a port of Magellan just gives a a nicer desktop to those that want it in the short term.
Both nice things to have, but I know which end result I prefer.
Which is the whole point of my original statement.
We can all have wishes, but we not always get them
If there is something real that I can boot and look at I will test it. As long as there is only "talk" it is not important to me. I have heard lots of things "behind the scenes" that are only halvfinished or not existing at all. People cannot use "talks" or "wishes" but only real components.
perhaps you get both at the end, who knows. But Magellan will be available in near future, Ambient would be a longterm project.
I hope I did not sound too harsh but now AROS gets a better desktop and then people pop up who have clear views (Magellan is bad, Wanderer is better) and when asking admit that they never used Magellan. And you start to say you would wish Ambient and sound like Kalamatee on aros-exec. That many people underestimate AROS (it is a great OS) and claim "it has not developed over the last ten years" has much to do with annoying Bugs not solved and Wanderer not updated. I would like to become AROS more popular and Magellan offers at least a sophisticated desktop.
