What still makes Amiga superior today?

[Varthall]

Luckily AmigaOS is now in a much better situation that it was 15 year ago: reworked to run on newer hardware, native USB support, large hard drives support, new and faster memory handling, support for easier ports of software from Linux, improved GUI etc. It still lacks in certain areas though, like printing, virtual memory, Java support etc.

What I find in AmigaOS unmatched in other OSes is its ease of use: system files are easily recognizable, the OS doesn't hide its elements to the user like in Windows, yet they aren't as cryptic and messy as in Linux.

Without drivers, add-on cards like CyberGraphics would be useless.

true but CGX and P96 are third party add-ons

Not anymore, P96 has been integrated into the system.

If the Amiga had a fast CPU, a graphics card and a (slightly) updated operating sytem with a browser, we would all be prepared to ignore any additional speed a multicore PC may have.
In practice the PC user will still have to wait longer to start using his PC than the Amiga user would, and if the Amiga feels faster, then for all intents and purposes, it is faster.

You're talking about the AmigaOne!
