What are the advantages of Amiga...

[stopthegop]

What's so great?

Directory structure and system utilisation:

* Logical Assigns
* Disks have names which are USED, so one disk will always appear the same, no matter what computer it is on (sometimes my USB key breaks on XP because it doesn't always register as drive E:, a real pain!)
* Local (PROGDIR:) Libs, etc. directories override system Libs at a higher level if available for the current program
* If you don't like the format/disk copy requester/command, just replace the tool with a new one in the appropriate directory.
* Not perfect but highly achieved backwards compatibility for software using system libraries
* It's fun to program and use
* You learn more about what's going on under the hood because its intentionally un-obscure

Etc.

"It's all a matter of perspective."

Totally agree.  The elegance of the Amiga's    modular[/b]  design is unmatched even today.

@Mr_A500:

May I suggest a re-wording of your question? Very, very few people could claim to be only Amiga in 2007 though some (like myself) would love nothing better.  I use my Amiga every day for everything except one or two very specific, unpleasant but necessary tasks that simply have to be done on a windoze box.  Believe me, I would dump that pile of sh1t in a second if not for my hedonistic urges to buy things like housing and food.  I think a better question is: "Who still actively uses "an" (instead of "only") Amiga for real work?"   I mean a real one, not some cheez emulator..
