Sure, and you could turn all the devices into libraries, but why? It's
pointless. Personally, I don't find Intuition
"hard" to program at all; in fact, I think it's very easy to program
(for the things I need it to do. I don't claim to know your needs). And
the major complaints people have had (no standard file requester comes
to mind) have been solved in 2.0 (obviously this is not evident if you
just run old software under 2.0).
