I disagree - this may have been true a long time ago, but not for recent
changes in Mutlinet.

There have been many performance enhancements in Mutlinet over the last few
years, so I suspect this is no longer true.

Sample of recent version Multinet enhancements:

It is true that Multinet does have a UNIX background, so its initial
look-and-feel might be a bit more familiar to UNIX/Networking types. 

However, like all interfaces, it just takes a bit of experience with it.
