Learn to program Amiga applications and games in #AmigaE

It's a conundrum. Typically people with great skills have acquired them through working with them day in day out. The problem there though is that the last thing someone wants to do after a hard days work is to go home and do the exact same thing.

It's a misnomor that coding is easy, even to those that do it day in day out. There's always something new to learn and research. AmigaOS coding is also more of a chore than for most systems being that development software is quite raw, as are its apis (a big part of why things like sdl are heavily used, even when its far from optimal).

The other side of the coin is that if a person has nothing but free time things can always be done tomorrow and people typically (myself included unfortunately) put things off because of that.

You beat me to it (pointing out that he's done the exact same thing he's scorning others for having done).

Everyone's entitled to a bit of a public frustration every now and again. I've seen (and done) much worse

It's not so much that its great (although most people tend to like it once they delve into it), just that it's become one of the defacto gui toolkits used for amiga os, and as such a lot of software uses it for thier gui functionality.
You can run it without paying anything still, just some of the more "advanced" options arent user defnable, and as such a person will be a little more limited with what they can customise to thier liking.
