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.
