Ive seen quite a lot of people missing this distinction lately. Intuition as most of us know, is the library and background task that handle pull down menus, and gadgets, and all of that. Workbench is the system that you use to run programs using all the gadgets. The reason I wanted to make this distinction is simple. I think intuition is basically excellent. However, I think workbench is horrible. Its slow, its cumbersome, its not terribly flexible, its a pain the neck. My use of WOrkbench is opening the CLI on the workbench disk at work. I cannot STAND all those miserable .info files.. they're handled pretty poorly. The best suggestion Ive seen so far is the replacement of the .info files, with the same files in a subdirectory.. that way we can have the advantages of the individual icon files, & a directory search with half the files to sort through.
