AmigaOS wants you!

It's evident that AmigaOS project is stagnated and falling behind. The promised basic features are still not available to end users. Users are stuck to flaky USB1, old Workbench, lacking 3D support, and installing various 68k components to get even the basic functionality one might expect (say console with review buffer). Promises of release or the component being in beta testing doesn't quite do it.

I personally don't have any interest at AmigaOS anymore. There's nothing AmigaOS could offer that wouldn't be implemented in a better way elsewhere. The "designers" have taken it to the directions I don't want to follow (adding pointless interfaces, adding pointless alien APIs, breaking both source and binary compatibility, adding "shared objects" that are not shared etc).

As a paying customer of OS4, I am starting to feel the same way.

Come on, the USB2 drivers have been in beta for *years* - that's embarrassing from a development standpoint, and intolerably frustrating from a user standpoint. They should at least have them into use-at-your-own-risk public beta by now.

I want to love OS4, but the project management behind it isn't filling me with confidence.
