I simply mentioned that Clockwerk was usable because you implied that it
was an app to demo the capabilities of Haiku along (see your quote
above). Maybe I misinterpreted your statement or took it out of context. ;)

I see what you mean about not wanting to flood Haiku with apps. What I
really don't understand is how you can substantiate that the expected
Haiku user base will not use ClockWerk but they will use WonderBrush.
Forgive me for asking, but what kind of target user base are you
assuming that would support such notion?

Cheers,
