It's because in 16 years a lot of advance have taken place that don't require a person to know how a computer works. Everything just works, plug it in, turn it on, and away you ago. The Amiga world doesn't work that way, it's more plug it in, turn it on, guru, try to fix it, surf the net for an answer, fix it, guru, repeat process. Welcome to the '80s...
Also, the Amiga is back in the '80s in terms of user friendliness, on a Mac or a PC you don't have to understand how something works to use it, in the Amiga world you have to....
Maybe you are talking about the current fake modern Amigas but I sure as hell didn't need to know how OCS chipset worked to run Digiview, Technosound Turbo, Dpaint and anything else together at the same time or move the mouse or create fantastic music or animations.
edit: and Amiga 1000 + WB1.2/1.3 made PC DOS machines of the 80s look like something only used by losers..........geeky losers with no sense of value for money too and dodgy eyesight and tone deaf ears
In fact WB1.3 never got in the way of my creativity, only unreliable floppy disks! Today everywhere you turn there is a problem, the OS is slow, it is unresponsive, you need GIGAHERTZ of CPU power to display a shitty mouse pointer on a desktop and double click program icons.........Mac is even worse.
But people want torrent clients, modern browsers, super fast broadband connections, instant on USB connectivity with cameras and mp3 players......and so they have no choice anyway.
Sign of the times, not an indication of how good/bad anything is. If C= hadn't gone bust in 94 and made less stupid decisions with Amiga (ie ALL of them after A1000/A500) we would have all this now too and a real alternative in the market place.
