while i can see where you are coming from i do not agree with your verdict. if this was the final release then yes there would be a major problem. it has problems nobody will dispute that but the work continues until it becomes what we want it to be.
this is only the first step in the resurrection of the amiga. the developers at hyperion do not have the resources and manpower of apple or microsoft so these things take immensely more time to implement.
now there was major changes between 1.3 and 3.1(3.9 is 3.1 with additional software bundled imo). visually it is noticable and functually it is noticable if you compare the two os versions. unfortunately commodore died and 3.1 was virtually unchanged until 4.0 and then it was just rewritten for use on ppc hardware. now that we are nearing the final release(hopefully)the next steps will be to improve the os. this is not to say there is no improvements already but instead improving on 4.0 and making it more user friendly.
if you want to get involved learn the os, identify what needs improvement, and help out by building programs to improve the os. we need all the help we can get.
