That's the way I see it, as much as I'd love the Natami to appear I just don't understand why anyone wants to make their Amiga run PC or MAC style software or worse make their WorkBench look like a PC or MAC desktop... :confused:
The Amiga is what it is and to me the beauty of it is making the old girl do what she can with our given resources, fancy Workbenches with full colour screens and all that malarky, nah what's the point unless all you do is sit and stare at WorkBench all day... 
At the end of the day it's all about getting the miggie to do what YOU want and being happy with it and learning something along the way...
While I too enjoy the classic amigas I cant share many of these sentiments. I see absolutely no harm in making Workbench easy on the eye. As Workbench *is* something a user spends a lot of time using I'd personally rather it look nice than low res, lacking color and ugly (having said that though I do get a kick out of seeing how nice a system I can make from limited resources, but for practical use the difference is like chalk and cheese). From the very beginning the amiga has had access to graphics cards, so the potential for eye candy has always been there, not to mention that an RTG based system is usually a more pleasant experience. Not essential, but it adds more to the experience than a faster processor as often as not (gimme '040+ rtg vs '060+ aga anyday for example). As for "PC or Mac style software", what exactly is that, and why wouldnt a person want to do something they might typically do elsewhere on an Amiga if they can? There's some very good software for other platforms as well and Id be happy to use them on my favorite system.
I do agree with using an Amiga the way a person wants to, but I dont agree that classic amiga and modern looking/modern software have to be different things all the time.
