I don't think we will ever have another 'golden era' -that was, I guess, 86-94 in Europe.
We can have some nice hobbyists hardware and software.
We are going to have to move off 68x soon. Freescale appear to be phasing out a lot of the lower end chips, and the 040 and 060 parts are still at crazy prices. FPGA (or other) solution can't come fast enough me (in terms of accelerators for classic).
