There are many who have experienced a different "world of OS-9" to what
you are describing.
Not everyone has your skills with OS-9 and not everyone has the same
expectations of what they should be able to achieve from it.
I've spent a lot of time with it and have found many shortcomings that
doesn't suit *my* requirements.
I have banned OS-9/NitrOS9 from my CoCo and have returned to a "pure
CoCo" environment.
People's expectations vary and their OS-9 experience will vary likewise.
