Have to diagree here. The "iconify" gadgets on the windows, intelligent use of
overlays, scroll bars, multiple windows and in the case of the print spooler
multiple tasks, make it similar in interface to the best Amiga-ized programs
I've used. As for pop-up requestors and gadgets without depth arrangers, they
only appear when you are actually doing something within the program. The 80%
of the time that the program is waiting around, they aren't in the way at all.
And don't forget, if the other program you are using has a window-to-front
gadget, you don't need a window-to-back gadget on everything else.
