Hey, I liked that combo in my OS/2 days. They were quite separate
products however. All they shared was an interface, very similar in
appearance to ease culture shock I guess.

They work differently. They were similar only with respect to basic
customization features.

There's no doubt a tradeoff with the two in one combo and that's
functionality. I'm yet to meet the beast that does both as effectively
as two well developed specialized clients.
