All of this discussion of what is and isn't Amiga reminds me of that shareware X11 server for Un/Accelerated Amigas. Never bothered trying it personally.
But it runs X11 with a mostly native Amiga base. Not Unix. As far as I can understand anyway.

Now. A massively theoretical situation here.
Lets say that this layer, or some mythical newer version of it was used as the support framework for Firefox.
Would you say that it is an Amiga browser or a Unix/X11 browser being forced to run on an Classical Amiga platform?

(please ignore memory etc. issues. hypothetical, remember?).

It seems to be more of a semantic argument here.

People have their own beliefs of what may constitute an Amiga. Whether it be a brand, look and feel, platform etc.

Now, people. Play nice.
