Hobby machine... For sure. I haven't used an Amiga as my primary machine for about 7 or 8 years, now.
The lack of CPU horsepower is noticeable, but it can be worked around. The lack of current software... That's not as easy to deal with. As mentioned, web-browsers, flash, reader, etc... You just don't even think about them until all of a sudden you don't have them. (Sure, you have AWeb and Ghostscript, and sometimes they even work for more than an hour or two before they drag the OS off into Guru Meditation oblivion...) But I can't see using an Amiga as a primary system, anymore. It's a fun machine for what it does, but what it doesn't do kills it from consideration for primary use.
That's probably the only reason I didn't buy an EFIKA/MorphOS system. The price is right, the horsepower is pretty impressive for an AmigaOS-type system... (It'd drag my old A4000 out behind the barn and beat it senseless..) but again... The lack of software makes it not really usable as a primary system. :-(
