I disagree :)

I consider myself a retro-developer, and I use atari800 over Altirra the
majority of the time - it is faster to startup, easier to use from
command line and easier to automate for testing. I only launch Altirra
to do final testing before releases and to solve problems difficult to
debug with the limited atari800 debugger.


Have Fun!
