Seriously, it has many advantages. It will not be obsolete next week. (It has been for years.) It is human friendly. I already know how to use it.

It makes me think about how to make it work to more or less like other PCs. (It amuses me to see mine do what my daughter's pentium does - just not as fast.)
You can't just be a software user with an Amiga. You have to know your hardware too. I ask my daughter about her system and usually get a "Huh?" She is a certified web master, a professional programmer and a university student. But she's all software.
