Use what works best for you. On the Amiga, IFX -- a program that does most
of what PS and FDP do and some things they can't do, plus can be integrated
and extended with the native interprocess communications language (ARexx),
is a great program to have around. If you're only going to have one, IFX is a
strong contender. Indespensable here for sure. I won't go into all it's capabilities
but they are extensive. Great complement to LW.
Adding the mac programs via emulation is a good option if IFX doesn't cover
what you need. There are also other native Amiga programs worth considering,
