Some things I missed on Amiga were:
* Basic multidrop networking capability for get-to-gether-and-code (or copy..)
* Ethernet (later)
* Memory protection
* Decent speed, decode of a 100k jpeg in 30 minutes is not my idea of speed..
Other than that it had great multitasking, music, graphics, discs and connectivity. What would the base standard for computing be without Commodore's own chip-fab! 
I think the big issue with jpeg decoding is the lack of an FPU on most Amiga's - im pretty confident that if you grabbed a 386sx25 with a high colour (65k colour) gfx card & 8mb ram it would be just as slow as a 25mhz 030.
