not "advantages", no, but there are bits and pieces that were
interesting ideas, even if they didn't pan out, that are overlooked.
the whole streams idea is really educational. nonet was neat. having
datakit code in there made the network transparency feel a bit more
real (different world, i know).
i often wish GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick were as easy to use as the fb tools.
oh, and since there's some people on this list at a company that makes
a map program: 2e's 'roads' was great. being able to specify a
particular road or roads and have only those displayed was super
useful. i'd love to see that in a certain map-like program.
still, you'd give up a lot to go back in time. better to identify any
bits worth the effort and bring them forward.
