Simply stated, you should target whatever OS you think will make you money or reach the largest market.  Right now by default, that's MorphOS, but in a while when AmigaOS is released (by whomever) that might change drastically.  


And if that's your goal, then I would say target Intel systems running Windows XP. ;-)

The GUI toolkit will probably be the only non-portable part (unless you're using a portable toolkit). Scratch that. It looks like you'll also be writing a speech interface, a pen interface, and an eyetracking interface. :-) I would do a modular 68k port, for the same reasons noted above.

Regardless, don't forget to have fun (and since Dasher is GNU code, don't foget to release your source).
