Although I admire the whole AmiKit project I can't say that it is something for me. I think it feels rather messy... in a way... and it takes forever to get hang of the entire system with so much installed and so much changed. I like control, and that is something I don't have the time to learn how to have when using AmiKit.
My solution was to decide which parts of AmiKit I really do enjoy and implement them on one of my real Amigas. ShowAmiga96, for example, and one of the themes which can be found in AmiKit together with some other stuff. That way I can still have full control over my system... while enjoying some of the eyecandy and software solutions found in AmiKit.
But, like I said... it is a fascinating project, nonetheless.
