One of "our" problems is that there just is not much new (finished) that we can actually use.
There are still a good number of Amiga users in the area I live, who seem to go for a mix of the classic hardware and emulators. A few of these users, including me, still use the classic Amiga to get work done! We (I) use a mix of ImageFX, Lightwave, DPaint on the Amiga with Photoshop, PaintShop Pro etc. on Windows (or the Mac). While the posts don't reflect this right now, I think the same situation is more or less true throughout the entire community.
Although I use the classic hardware most, I have to admit to using an emulator at times. The emulator I use has to have a real Amiga OS installed to work (as well as a real classic Amiga ROM image) so it feels like a classic Amiga in many respects, just faster.
On this site, even though there is some discord at times, I find that if a problem arises, and a post for help is put up here, there is always plenty of help.
I think that this willingness to help other Amiga users is truly telling about the real condition of our community. Am I wrong? I don't believe so.
This has long been one the Amiga community's strong points.
