The best thing about AmigaBasic was the manual.  I've still got mine somewhere....

As for the worst Amiga applications ever, there are a couple of others that spring to mind:

Kindwords - ran dog slow on My A500, and text would periodically "disappear" when editing stuff

Thexder (yes I know it isn't strictly an application) - Four colour CGA PC game on an Amiga?  Look no further.

Oh, and on a nostalgic note, I too used AmigaBasic to help me with my A Level in Computing - ten long years ago now!

I certainly am referring to "that" Thexder!

Granted, back in the day there wasn't much else to compare against, but I really didn't enjoy playing it one bit.  It's quite obvious where the inspiration for Turrican came from, and IMHO it's a much better game.

"Volume 'Lazerus' anyone"

Hahaha!

I saw a hacked script for diskdoctor on a utils disk once.  

"Insert disk in DF0: and I'll @@@ it up real bad..."
