Most definitely.  Even when I'm doing something as simple as writing I find
multitasking useful.  TeX runs wonderfully in the Amiga environment --- one
CLI for TeX, one for the Previewer, one for your favorite text editor, one
for general CLI stuff.  Just yesterday I wanted to download some stuff using
VT100.  I logged on and was about to start the transfer when I remembered
that I had to format a new disk first... no problem, just opened a new CLI
with PopCLI and did it without disconnecting.  Even those who only use the
Workbench are often multitasking, whether they know it or not.

Hey, multitasking is amazing.  So is the Amiga.
