Sorry, but I don't agree. IMHO, giving up the user frendliest thing that
happened to us in the last 10 years (the desktop interface, yeah!)
for just such a minor 'flaw' doesn't make sense at all!! (Besides you can
overcome such 'flaws' with neat little utilities like SuperDataPath!)

OK, I use the ORCA shell for programming because it's fast. But doing
all the housekeeping chores on my GS with the shell would be a real
pain in the neck! I can make a better use of my limited memory than
remembering all those nasty little command names (don't count the endless
options...). So I prefer the Finder.
