Who says this  "MUI must be standard" ?!

Ridiculous....what do you tell the standard "amiga-surfer-package"-buyer
with his 2 Megs of Ram....how it is fun to run applications like
AmiIRC..AmFTP..Mindwalker...or similiar...making heavy use of the
(yeah yeah so great) MUI ?

Don't forget MUI is a "alien"-program...which means every application
programmed using it also relies on ITS bugs...and its behaviour..besides
of this its also shareware (means you have to pay for it)..why should 
(my gewd i hope not)..AT implement it in their systemsoftware ?
(It's sad enough many good apps like IBrowse or sth. use it...)

Comes the day MUI is a 100% real part of the Amiga i sell mine and step over
to Win95 !

I know from my own experience...it is more or less *** impossibl e***  to run
applications using MUI3.x with standard vanilla A1200....i agree this is
a "Lamerconfig" and after i (finally) am the owner of a Turbooard with
a load of additional Fastram MUI doesnt seem a bit better to me !
It is still slow....many thing don't make sense.....

How about 50000x times pressing some gadget for just changing a colour on
the screen or changing the screenmode ? How about palettegadgets or
colorwheels which come up in black/white ? Pressing a gadget first loads
a library from disk...look at applications...they load 200 or more files
(Snoopdos) until they start ? What is good with MUI ? Look at how it fragments
your memory.....after few times starting some MUI-app you can reboot because
it fragments memory like what do i know else...

I think people (i.e. programmers) use MUI because there currently is no
alternative (i mean a real one ;) using OO Boopsie-Whoopsie and this 
all very very (yawn) important features MUI offers...with look to the 
future...all very homogene and "yes..it all makes that much sense"....

Maybe some programmers should look what it all leads to...a few times ago
it was use you could setup your preferences (of a particular application)
WITH *IN* it...colorrequesters...screenrequesters...it is/was all
there (in the OS)...today i need 5 Megs of Ram and the same ammount on HD
to do the same (and then maybe with lots of bugs and not logical and
slow) as does MUI.....

Ok..i stop...(to calm down a bit...;)
