I won't argue that -- there

I won't argue that -- there wasn't much in terms of great software on the QL, hell there wasn't much in terms of ANY software .. period!

That said, there were some good development tools on the QL, even SuperBasic was very decent. In fact the QL application suite, developed by Psion, was quite interesting; you can already see some of the greatness that was later embedded in Psion's own PDAs (the 3 and 5 series specifically).
