I have not seen any of the problems with Suitcase that you describe.  The
startup setup in terms of files/folders is actually much more flexible than
your description states.  It is also possible to have suitcase manage FKeys
and "snd "'s.  Your use of the term "auto-loaded" may mislead some to think
that fonts are read into memory at boot time -- this is not the case.
The suitcase disk also includes the state-of-the-art blanker, Pyro!.
The sole shortcoming of Suitcase I am aware of (and it's documented) is
that you can't split a font family across suitcase files -- in particular
Geneva must have all its sizes in the System file.
Big deal.

I have no connection with Software Supply -- except that the authors are
friends of mine and excellent folks; I even paid for my copy!
