Nostalgia, pure and simple...
My first experience with computers was an Apple II at high school. Soon after I received a VZ-200 (Laser 200) computer for xmas. After that one broke down I exchanged it for a VIC-20, then onto a C64, then an A500, then A1200.
Obviously the Amiga was a huge step up from the C64 and my first real computer.
Any advantage the Amiga (as a system) once had, has long since been negated by the huge technological advances in computing. Many of the old 'amiga advantages' that made it such a revolution in its day just aren't relevant today. So it boots slightly quicker than a PC. As for 'responsiveness', I don't see my A1200 being any more responsive than my windows PC. On the flip side of the coin, there are all the disadvantages: slow, not many serious modern apps, limited and expensive hardware, etc, etc...
Hanging onto the Amiga as some sort of saviour of the computer world is just as silly as holding the C64 up as the next messiah (see what I did there?).
The amiga, to me, is what I remember from back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, nothing more...
My $0.02...
