Further to Tee's response and yours.  I don't think AW is overloaded 
either.  AW is a case where the sum of the parts is much better than 
the individual pieces.  The WP isn't the best but adequate for most 
people, the DB isn't on the whole rather pathetic compared to modern 
DBs but for most people who would care to learn quite adequate, the SS 
is also adequate for most people.     The Presentation and 
Communications modules - well lets just forget those (which most people 
did from the beginning anyway). But none of the modules interferes with 
the other.  Consider them features that you don't use.  Power users are 
just that - do I need a Benz or Cadillac when a Suzuki Swift gets me 
there as well?  The speed limit, which I know we all follow, is still 
100 kph.

People need to delve into AW a bit more.  The built in macro capability 
(in OS 9 and in Classic mode in OS X) plus applescript alone makes the 
use of the three modules very powerful, again if you take the time to 
learn.  The time required is likely much less than a dedicated program 
with sub-menu upon sub-menu that gets relocated every time there is an 
upgrade.
