It's your point of view of Mint user, it's not the point of view of Magic user.
Magic was more compatible with TOS than Mint + Multitos, don't forget this.
Today Magic is very near from Mint for Gemdos part, and if it is not exactly
compatible, for some part is technicaly for my point of view better than Mint
(ex call of some system function from a signal crash where it work fine on
Magic).
I heard alway's it's technicaly better this than this, I think developper in
fact do always what he wan't, and nobody know what futur will be. You can have
the best technical look on paper and bad implementation, only final
implementation is important.
I think Opensource is good thing and when I think when MyAeS will be mature I
will put it in Opensource, but sometime I think it's like a secte, far from it
all is bad, I use OpenSource, some project are very good, but most of softwares
are not so good, I use commercial and opensource software, this is not a problem
for me, I didn't wan't lost time with bad applications.
