No, of course not, Rob.  PS is well suited for many tasks, particularly
the description of pictures.  I am quite a fan of the combined approach
of groff+EPS, particularly since Jim Clark is apparently willing to
contribute some effort in making it work.  I'd replace the dvi previewer
with the ghostview supplied with ghostscript 2.5 (which has a pretty
groty UI; better perhaps to supply an ATK version of ghostview using the
ghostview protocols to talk to ghostscript).  But bear in mind that
printing is not everything; there are places where the display on the
screen is more important.

My recommendation would be to focus on other features that have bugs,
and on places where ATK shines.

In the first category, footnotes, templates, and citations come to mind.
 The footnote styles are very fragile.  The citation system is broken
completely.  Color images are needed.  It is difficult to use one
document as a template for another.

In the second category, hypertext and active documents are major
contributions to the technology available via ATK, as is the notion of
mapping a persistent typed object system onto the normal file system
(via the dataobject storage methods).  I'd like to see the `text' class
turned into a `hypertext' class in a totally backward-compatible way,
via the addition of Universal Resource Identifiers currently being
discussed in the IETF, and the notions of anchors with links.  Adding a
synchronized document, to allow multiple streams of timestamped input to
be synchronized, would be an interesting and original contribution.
