No doubt it has a long way to go to get to the crispness of a WPS application. It very much reminds me of Warp 2.11 thru Warp 3 prior to FP6. As far a interaction between the interface and user. And yes you are really on your own when it comes to configuring a new application or getting one configured that was installed but not configured during the OS install. The interdependencies between modules and application are just unreal. Sometimes you have to backlevel several applications just to install the current beta of a must-have application.
