By far the best things about System 5.0 are:
1.  The QuickDraw II speed-up.  Most operations operate 1.5 to 2 times
faster.  This means that the Finder is actually usable now!

2.  Express loading.  When an application is set up for express laoding,
it loads incredibly fast.  To give an example, loading an express loadable
AppleWorks GS with all six modules preloaded from floppy takes 35 seconds.
It used to take 3-10 minutes!

These features alone make the system more usuable.  I personally prefer
stuff like this to a whole bunch of new FST's
