Drawstudio. A very underrated and little brought utility by the Amiga
Community at large. It's really cool.

The best thing to ever grace the amiga was  Directory Opus magellan 2 which is absolutly fantastic as a WB Replacement and i still/will continue to use it under Amithlon,

Tried the windows version of Directory Opus and was very unhappy with it.

Deluxe Paint IV - still one of the best pixel painters around.

CygnusEd or perhaps Deluxe paint IV, however the disksalv tools have really saved my butt several times so thats a good one too.

Ohh, the memories of making Lemmings animations with DPaint.

I prefer PPaint now.

Agreed. CED'll always be the dog's bollocks when it comes to Amiga text editors.

None of that bloated, Windows wannabe GED crap. :)

I nearly seconded that. Its very good, but I think for me Brilliance 2 was the best Amiga app. I loved that program...

@gnarly

Brilliance has been one of my best ever investments.  From seeing it being demonstrated at the WOA at Wembley and shelling out a huge amount of money for it. And being really gutted when Brilliance2 was released about £100 cheaper. And I bought that too.
This has got  to be the most robust program I've ever used. It's never crashed on me, at all. Still to this day I've not found anything to best it on any other platform. Shame that it won't run on the AmigaOne

ScalaMM400 is another must have program. If ever there was (is?) another program that can make multimedia easier, I'd like to see it.

professional file system3 not only speeds up disk operations but very hard to invalidate hard disk.
drawstudio is very good  im one of the few that bought it. :-)
I once had an amigaone xe but sold it .
