One thing I could never figure out is why they added more letters to the drives, A: is a lot easier to type than df0: and the sentences they used to make a diskcopy or copy a file. Later it just came natural and never noticed the extra key steps.
Funny, moving from DOS and Windows 3.1 to my first Amiga (a bare A1200), I loved AmigaDOS and very quickly couldn't understand why Microsoft
didn't add extra letters to the drive letters to make them more intuitive. And the flexibility of the commands compared to DOS made it just so much nicer to do anything. Entering a directory name without having to type CD for example, and so on.
Today I still much prefer using the Amiga's command prompt over all others. Some are more powerful, sure, but using the Windows, Linux, Mac and QNX consoles regularly I always find AmigaDOS so much nicer to work with. And ARexx, the amount of times I curse not having ARexx on other platforms! Double-click to bring a window to the front is another one, I could go on...
