It depends on your needs.  I just got my update to APW 1.0 and so far have
noticed the following differences (I'm sure there are others):
	Several known problems in APW 1.0B4 are now fixed.
	The manual is better in some places.
	The version 2.0 object format is (mostly) supported.
	The disk comes with a newer version of ProDOS than on APW 1.0B4.
	Command pipelines are now supported.
Still the same horrible editor, source file type silliness, and VMS-like
commands, alas.  I wish they provided sources for the shell.  I'm working
on a port of Manx's vi-like editor to APW C as an interim measure on my
way to porting Jove or some other more usable editor.
