Amiga OS 4.1 Software Top 10

@djrikki
My current top 10 most used applications varies over time and (unfortunately) a lot of them are 68k programs. Here they are:

OWB - Used daily for WEB browsing.
YAM - Used daily for email.
TurboText - Used daily for general text editing.
Dopus - Used daily for file management etc.
TurboCalc - Used several times a week for budgeting etc.
ImageFX 4.5 - Used frequently for creating/editing OS4 icons. Use may decline once I have new size icons for all my programs.
FinalWriter - Used for important documents.
PageStream 4 - Used for single page notices etc. I would update to OS4
native version (PageStream 5.x) if it were declared stable.
OS4SDK/GCC - Mostly used to create custom versions of opensource
programs & personal utilities.
Snoopy - Used frequently to resolve problems with other programs.

So you prefer useless eye candy to accuracy and speed. Each to their own.

As a practical astronomer I far prefer DU to anything on other platforms which usually crash or are so slow as to be unuseable.

Celestia for example crawls along on my A1 which is no slouch with a 1.26Mhz CPU, it also has zero documentation. It was nice to try out but for me it is just eye candy but no real astronomy and far too slow to use

As an observing tool DU is much more useful

It is quick, accurate and shows stars and other objects without any silly overlays of mythical figures which is totally unnecessary.

What is this modern obsession with useless bloat ? If you want that use Windows

@BillE

Imho just need "the middle". Eye-candy which works not in bloated way :)
