Still more true with OS X.
Yes, 'update' helps a lot, especially in X, But it didn't fix the
duplicate/move stuff at the time that I had to give it up (maybe two years
ago, OS 9.0.4/AS 1.4.3, I'd guess. Also OS 9.1/AS 1.5.5 I think). I tried
it. I'm glad to hear it improved since - I know AS 1.6 was generally pretty
good, and 1.8.3 too. I don't go back to OS 9.x very often now, and I'm happy
with it OS in 10.1.x.
