I like that programs go into folders. And folders goes into sub folders. So if I would have Photoshop on my Amiga it would go into the Graphics folder on my Work partition. And when I would start Photoshop I would go into my Work partition and into my Graphics folder and then into my Photoshop folder. When I am in my Photoshop folder I see a couple of icons, one is Photoshop and some read me icons, the other icons belonging to Photoshop is hidden because they have no .info files.
Windows is a huge mess when you are trying to organize folders and programs. The startbar is not a good idea I think because programs are put in strange startbar folders like companyname/program/program.exe
I think Workbench was great in that you could organize your programs however you wanted it. And if you wanted to uninstall something you could always just delete a folder, in some cases some files where left on DH0: but in most cases those files where so small it did not matter they where still left.
Currently I run XP and have set up mini icons on my startbar for most of the popular programs I run every day, I rarely go to programs in my start bar anymore because it is just a huge mess. Sometimes I go into c:\program files and it just amaze me how much JUNK gets collected there.
Linux and Unix are messy to. I am not suppose to critize them because some big bearded fat Unix-wiz with dirty jeans would probably type up a three page long list of argument why they rule the world. But to be honest with you Unix just feels old and dumb in some ways.
And I do not believe in that people who like functions of Workbench are living in the past. The small things in Workbench is what I like about it like pressing amiga + m and amiga + e.
