Emulators filled the gap where people like myself needed the speed when promises of new hardware was just bullshit for years and years but hey lets not blame good old wonderful Amiga companies lets blame emulators and their users.
Or in my case, emulators filled the gap when my Amiga died, and it just wasnt practical to spend a large sum of money buying a replacement A1200, tower, accelerator and all the other hacks that held the old system together, when an off the shelf PC was cheaper and faster and did the job just as well - and in some cases better - eg: UAE's P96 driver.
These new G4 Amigas are looking very attractive indeed though, and I could do with a new computer fairly soon. That said, I'm not sure I can bring myself to abandon applications like Photoshop, TopStyle, Dreamweaver and so on.
This brings us back to the big porting debate - bringing gtk+ and the like to the Amiga could bring GIMP and a variety of other applications across with it. Pity i'm no programmer ;-)
