my oppinion is this:
regardless of which is faster for demo makers, - native or rtg
the whole point of demo making is to show off, and practice
so its certainly up to the demo maker as to which hardware they use, the hardware does play a vital part in demo making

the demos IMO are for them, not us!
let THEM decide what hardware to support!

i really can not understand why so many people are arguing about such a trivial(IMO) subject!
"demos should ALL be RTG"
it doesnt matter!
it doesnt matter which is faster, or has the most features etc...
demos are only for the developer who wants to show off what he can do with particular hardware, i cant see why everyone is so worried about this
applications & games are completly different,
applications should be compatable with all graphics hardware, since they are not demonstrating graphics hardware capabilities
its important to make your apps & games RTG compliant, make it open on any type of screen the user desires, or on the WB screen
ok, so i cant see most demos, because i dont have a monitor connected to the native video port, but if the author wanted to use copper-lists & ham8 and sprites and stuff, what can i do? its the authors choice

i just think people should stop argueing about such trivial nonsense!

i dont use the original amiga graphics, i use a grphics card in my amiga, does that mean that when i use my A4000T, im not really using an amiga?

im sure an amiga can be more than just a bunch of custom chips
