It looks like I'm in a small minority, but I really like AWGS, and don't
find the speed terribly bad, relative to other GS desktop software.
I did not buy MultiScribe GS and Word Perfect because they were way too
slow for practical use.  While AWGS isn't exactly blazing fast, I find
it fast enough to be usable, except for the spreadsheet module (and 
Kermit would be nice for the communications module).

I wish Claris continues to write powerful software like AWGS - perhaps
in programming tools and utilities.
