Myself, I'm getting "back into" Amiga hardware and software because, frankly, nothing else beats it. I had an A1000 as my primary computer system from 1990 to 1993, and never found anything that I couldn't do with it.
Unfortunately I had to switch to a PC clone because of college work, but always missed the Amiga. I finally decided to do something about it after reading "On The Edge: The Rise and Fall of Commodore" about six months ago, and have since lucked into picking up a couple of "big box" Amigas fairly cheaply.
I'm in the process of resurrecting those systems and upgrading them to run OS3.9, and getting familiar with All Things Amiga that have happened since my days of running 2.04 on a soft-kicked A1000 and dual floppy drives. I can emulate pretty much any system config I want with WinUAE or EUAE on my 20" Intel-based iMac, but it's NOT THE SAME as sitting in front of actual hardware (that I could never have afforded as a high school student in a small town).
After the Amiga trademarks/rights have been passed around so much, I'll be surprised to actually see the recently-announced Amiga hardware actually be available for purchase. So much has been promised in the past ten years, and so much NOT delivered. In addition to that, I have to look at things and think "$500 for a PowerPC Amiga, or $0 for super-fast emulation on my existing Mac?" Hard to justify the purchase when you expect this incarnation of Amiga Inc. to go under in a year or two.
It is amazing to see the amount of software and hardware still currently produced and available for "Classic" Amigas, and the wealth of reference information available on the Web for hardware made almost twenty years ago, although the prices commanded for things like ethernet and RTG cards amaze me (and keep me from having a network-connected Amiga, as I can't afford an ethernet card).
All in all, I'm having a great time.
