Sorry, I can't agree.  Unfortunately, there's still not that much out
specifically for the GS in certain catagories.  
Most GS owners I know use Proterm for communications software,  PublishIt! 3
for desk top publishing, Classic Appleworks for word processing and Proline
for BBS software.  Sure there're packages specific for the GS and I'm sure
many GS owners use them.  But in the four catagories above, there's really
nothing that's really surpassed them in terms of sales or popularity.
