user-startup -- Really useful?

[AmigaHeretic]

First of all I have to ask how you figure it's any faster having something run from WBStartup as opposed to the user-startup?

My user-startup is mostly filled with Assigns that programs need ie.  assign dpaint: dh1:dpaint

To me it's just a lot easier way to keep track of everything.  I actually prefer to have as few things as possible in the WB Startup drawer and move them into user-startup to keep everything in one place.   It would seem cluttered to me to have all the assigns and programs in the middle of the startup-sequence somewhere.

As doomy would say, "You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to User-Startup!"

Before it was very hard to determine which of the commands in the startup-sequences is executed first. (o.k., this is only a problem for those who are called in the startup-sequence after user-startup is started).

They're executed in the order that they are in the script.  How is elminating User-Startup going to change that?  And how exactly do you determine which programs are executed first in the WB Startup drawer now that you moved them there?

I had some troubles with this and only could avoid occasional gurus by inserting some wait commands at different places.

I have never had to nor have I ever heard of anyone having to add a bunch of wait commands in their startup-sequence to avoid a guru.  Even if you did have to, how would moving these programs out of User-Startup and into the Startup-Sequence fix it so that you didn't have to add these wait commands in anymore?
