Sure, WB was OK for 1985-1987. What about 1990 with 2.0? Compare WB 2.0 with the competition. The fonts are ugly (topaz got worse!) the new icons look like crap and everything looks dull and unprofessional. They could easily have kept it at 4 colours and made it look nice. And if they had an awesome 16 colour WB in 1990, maybe Amiga would have sold more ....in the years they screwed up and delayed AGA while competitors had more colours.
This is what sucked with Commodore.. They never really developed the machine, but instead they milked it for all it was worth. All they did was add a bit more ram here and there and didnt even really upgrade the gfx chipset since 85 before the a1200 was released with aga. When the aga was released, it was already behind the pc gfx in many areas. :-(
This is one of the things that killed the Amiga in my opinion.
It was way ahead of its time when it was released, but the pc drove by when Commodore just sat by and did no investments in upgrades.
