"solid user base" = 50000 people who use an OS on a daily basis.

Even the most optimistic wouldn't put the size of the
"community" at over 10000,
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Yes, and now gues who paid for that port ....

Don't see anyone in this market splashing out that amount of $

Both OSes allready have a "house"-browser, partly finaced
by (future) OS-sales.

I strongly disagree !!

A lot of serious SW-companies will just close their ears after
getting "Amiga is back port now" posts from the zealot for the
last 10 years .....

Better wait until the systems are out and one can give a
realistic of actual users instead of hope&hype.

Papyrus.

Atm you only got two kinds of SW companies:
a) Those who know the market but are still doing stuff.

b) Those you think the market is too small.

New SW will only come from the 1st group for the time being, and
we have to support those until the user-base is big enough for
the 2nd group to rethink.

Every sensible buisness man (or woman) would in no way let his
descions be influenced by the furious few.

"Mail-bombing" (and this is what it feels like for the
companies) can only be counterproductive.
