The Amiga has been nothing more than a hobby, almost since it's beginning. Even moreso since the fall of Commodore in 1994/95. The problems in this community are caused in their entirety by people who want to steadfastly pretend that the Amiga is than the hobby it really is.
Uh? Are you claiming that one of the best selling home computers in Europe was not much more than a hobby at that time?
It might have been the case in the home market in usa, but in Europe the Amiga was a big thing until the mid nighties.
The Amiga even sold really well in Europe even for a while after commodore went bust and the european commodore actually went with profits while the US one suffered like hell.
But even in USA it could not be called just a hobby, considering that the Amiga+videotoaster was very popular in the tv/movie industry.
Today is of course a whole different question.... What can one expect when it has been well over 10 years without any new hardware?
But yeah, it is a hobby now just like how the c64 or atari is a hobby.
