Actually, the '!' was optional, and a feature of the UI not the backend
OS. There
were some hacks which allowed you to create application folders which
didn't start
with a '!'.
But it's all very dated now. I still miss the save UX from RISC OS
however - drag an
icon from your application to the file window in order to save works
really well when
you have several different applications working out of one directory.
RISC OS was probably one reason why I still insist on sloppy mouse
focus. The click
to focus of Unity (which you can't fix because of where the menus are)
is the one
thing that prevents me from considering using it. Move the menus and
enable sloppy
focus, and I'd probably be willing to consider using Unity.
