I've tried it one afternoon sometime ago. It looks nice on the outside, but has too many disadvantages to be useful: - it takes up far too much memory - memory will fragmented in no time if you run a background job - (Tools) TeX and Absoft FORTRAN (and a number of other applications) cannot be run by it. With the quality of ST applications improving I kinda forgot where the reset button is located; after experimenting with the multitasking shell I knew exactly where the reset button is.
