I mostly play games. Having a dedicated Amiga hogging space to play some games isn't really practical. I'm not too interested in any of the other software.
and programming wise, you can do most of what you want with an emulator too. AmiKit makes it pretty streamlined. There's even a C hard disk image floating around somewhere which makes it even easier than even easy.
It's honestly easier to set stuff up that way than it is to locate, setup, and properly configure real hardware to a point where it's useable.
