Magellan licensed for AmigaOS 4.0

I agree. I think Magellan is kind of bloated. The Workbench UI is small and fast an this is what makes it so usable. Magellan feels too much like Windows (and I really don't like the Explorer).

I couldn't DISagree with you more! The *ONLY* thing that slowed down Magellan with it's depency on ChipRAM. With regular WB you can use WB2FAST or TweakWB etc to mostly disable the S_L_O_W ChipRAM access, but this wasn't possible on Magellan.

I ended up not buying Magellan for this one reason, I'm a speed freak. There will be no ChipRAM on the AmigaOne so it will FLY. I was always very impressed with DOPUS, especially Magellan.

Well, thats nice. I went to Opus 6 site today, and had a look at Opus 6 for windows and Magellan for Windows...

Bad example, DOPUS for windows is a completely different beast. Dopus for Amiga retains the WB atmosphere but adds alot of functionality.

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?

The only reason it is slower is because you could not disable ChipRAM access under Magellan like you could under regular WB, this won't be a problem on an AmigaOne I'm sure since there is no ChipRAM
