Is emulation based x86 machines in Amiga cases really a no no? or......

My two cents.... when reading comments about PPC such as SAM not being Amiga etc I do recall reading an article in Amiga Format or CUAmiga, cant remember exactly which one, but do remember all the hype about the PPC expansions and how it would revolutionise the machine and help to push it on into the future and even back then it had been mentioned that down the road at some point the 68k would be dropped and the legacy software being run via some form of emulation, which is essentially what has happened.
x86 running UAE... well Amithlon and Amiga XL was an interesting concept, but having used it, I have to be honest I didnt really like it too much... UAE on Windoze, I wasnt too big a fan of that either... the speed increase was awesome and the ability to have a high resolution workbench with out the high expenditure that goes with it was great, but it just doesnt feel right.
I have Aros running on an Acer Aspire and I love it, it feels like workbench, its fast and its native, the OS itself seems to get knocked on some forums which I think is kind of unfair as the guys involved have done a great job

I reckon if Commodore had survived they would of been producing windows boxes anyhow, after all they were already putting out 286 and 386 IBM clones with the PC-50 & PC-60 and lets face it when windows 95 took off it was everywhere and a big money maker for producers of hardware especially when multimedia was the buzzword at the time. So in all likelyhood the Classic Amiga platform would of likely faded away as all its qualities that made it a superior platform in the 80s and 90s made it inferior and non standard as well as overpriced at that time. I do remember during the Escom ownership seeing PCs on sale in Tandy here in Dundee, they also had A1200 Magic Packs but they were sat on a shelf above the sales counter as it was the PCs that everyone was interested in and thats where the money was being made.
