So you want it to be fast, reliable, and do everything but wash the kitchen
sink but you don't want to pay for it???? Typical.
Besides the TOTAL lack of support from Atari Corp.(products, marketing, and
distribution) the single most important factor contributing to the decline
(and eventual death unless something changes) of the ST is the unwillingness
of users to PAY for quality software. NOBODY wants to develop software for
a machine that you can only sell 500 copies of a program before it's on half
the bulletin boards across the country.
Unless Atari starts selling more machines so there are a few more users to buy
software AND unless ST users start supporting the machine through the purchase
of quality software there won't be any quality software to purchase!
