it stems back to the programmers of the early era, someone else has the history lesson I'm sure, but morph created better computer opportunities when amiga was in disarray, then it stemmed into brand loyalty and what was a real amiga anyway. while "we" were struggling with the issue of speed, morph moved ahead and were enjoying the wealth of pegs,speed programs, ect. Truth be told they carried the mantle of moving ahead for awhile now. Though few will give it credit.
As for the war, why not? the more the merrier! we got three new browsers out of it among other things, and if we be open, we will find something we like i would even support the AInc move with AE on EVO

OS4 looks good now, but again morph is ahead, if they port to faster hardware.
feel free to correct me :-?
