We all know that since Commodore went bust, mainstream developers have fled the platform in droves.
I've been thinking about some of the benefits though. Those of us that have stayed with the platform are probably some of the most self-reliant computer users out there. Where would we be today if we still relied on Commodore for everything? I think that most of the characteristics that (used to?) define the Amiga
community came about from mutual abandonment.
I think the average Amigan today knows far more about the internal workings of the platform than the average Amigan from 1994, even if it is the same person. So much more information has been made publicly available by now.
Opinions?
