Point 1: Dopus5 is much, much, *much* more powerful than workbench or opus4: more powerful in almost every way. It makes using an Amiga a much nicer experience, whether you are a beginner or an advanced user. It is much better than the many utils used to prop up WB, such as deficons and suchlike. If you say you tried Dopus once and didn't like it, please try it again. It is my honest and heartfelt opinion that no-one in their right mind could prefer wb or d4 over dopus5, having used both for a long while. I think you just haven't given it a chance. You might be pleasantly surprised!

I don't use DefIcons, borderless Icons, FTPMount, or anything else like that. What I _do_ use is ToolManager and MCP (and I'll have to use MCP despite of Magellan).

Point2: Dopus5 can be set up to look like and act like the workbench, or even opus4, if you so desire.

Why would I want an application to suck extra memory if it's only task is to emulate Workbench...?

Point3: Dopus5 isn't bloated. It comes on one floppy disk (with an optional add-on disk). It also uses less RAM while in operation than wb3.9. It is a little slower, it must be said, than WB; but under a native PPC port, are you likely to notice?

I mean the UI and config is bloated. I don't use WB 3.9 either, since I think that too is bloated. Besides, the ReAction gadgets are too damn ugly...
Well, anyaways, who cares? Since Magellan won't be the single UI choice in OS4, all is OK :-)
