I don't want to start a GUI vs CLI argument... I won't participate if things
degenerate into one. But before you dismiss AppleWorks 3, consider its speed,
robustness, and power. And when you add TimeOut, I don't think there's a
productivity tool for the Apple II that beats it (or even compares). Then add
Ultramacros, and it just gets ridiculously powerful... I know, because I'm
doing things with it which would take 10 times longer IF you script AWGS, and
probably 50 times longer because you can't.  This, like everything else I say
is IMHO.
