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.
