Hardware, sure, but software wise it's not so clear cut. Seeing as there's no real money to be made on amiga software, motivation to continue often comes on the back of feedback, and others showing in interest in your work. Sure, in the 1st place it mostly comes from a love of just doing it, but it can be a challenge to "maintain the rage" for a long while if no-one else shows interest, after all a hobby isnt as fun if you have no-one to share it with.
Keeping people in the loop though, both software and hardware, Im sure people would appreciate.
(Im referring to big, or original projects here, a lot of the open source stuff that gets ported isnt worth the effort in my opinion and/or can be ported quick enough to not warrant informing people of).
Just my 2 cents
