Let me chime in here. I must also confess that i like the modular approachmore than the monolithic approach. Things are easier to exchange if youdon't like several parts and also easier to replace, since you won't need to write a whole WorkspaceManager, if you don't like - for instance - thedesktop part.The modular approach is also very UNIX like where traditionally many smallpieces make up the whole system (remember that "If UNIX was a plane" -joke? There is some truth in it - for good) In contrast there is Windowswhere you even can't replace the webbrowser or the mediaplayer easily. please keep that in mind :-)
While in general it really make sense to have modular approach, I confess that I'm confused with GWorkspace as it it. Having modular things, ok. But it should have been bundles then, not separate applications. I really don't see why Inspector.app or Operations.app are applications...
But well, I now understand why Enrico did that (to have clean separate parts); it's just that I really hope that in the future the code will be gathered in ONE app (but with the code in bundles, that could be interesting, I agree).
