I find the 'structure' of Workbench/AmigaOS being sadly overlooked... still all this years later everything feels so 'simple' and 'obvious', just look at the devices, Locale, DOSDRivers, Datatypes, Libraries... what the hell went wrong with the 'logic' and 'structure' of todays OS'es? Looking at Windows makes me cry, out of fear of what is to come next.
Yes, I totally agree with you.
But for a grotesque example, look at Linux crap file structure...
etc, usr, mnt, bah !
And Linux is free, but has it's cost : eats up all of your hard disk space installing *every* file from a dependency (even the source and docs!) and demands at least 1024x768. Of course it run even on 640x480, but the utilities available it assumes the 1024x768 as standard and requires resolutions like.
And hey, for those who think 640x480 is irrealist, that's the resolution i'm using now on my PC with winblowsXP at thsi moment, and only few utilites requires higher resolutions, so this is the resolution I use about 90% of the time.
