I haven't used 2.0b for the Macs, but am currently using both 1.22 and 2.0b 
for
Windows 3.x.  I am also using Smartmarks in conjunction with
both versions of Navigator.  I have found that most of my crashes are 
probably
due to the overhead required by 2.0b/Smartmarks -- 8 megs RAM isn't really 
enough.
1.22 doesn't seem to crash as much, and so I am using that primarily.

I find that they are much easier to organize under 1.22 and 2.0b than 1.1N.
To move an entry up or down, I simply move it to the top of the folder 
(dragging
it with the mouse).
