What if you had enough *native* apps to get rid of legacy ones ?
You will always be able to run them with UAE anyway...

Why are we still talking about *legacy* in 2010 ? We need to move forward...

You won't. The potential market is way too small for serious commercial apps. If your software library consists of ports of X or linux apps why not run linux directly then?

Really ? As I see it most important 68k apps have already been ported...

A PPC-only MorphOS (plus UAE for older apps/games) will be enough already.

What if someday MorphOS gets ported to some new architecture ? Does this mean we'll have:

 1. 68k emulator
 2. ppc emulator
 3. new xx processor native apps
?

Name one paint/gfx-app that has been ported over to PPC (OS4 or MorphOS) and is still actively maintained.

Name one word-processor .....

There is some movement in sound&music, but still lots of important apps left behind.

There's none. But name me one 68k word processor or gfx/paint app that's been updated in the last 5 years ?

I guess there's none... I'd rather see some serious/rather up to date app like Blender (for 3D) ported to native, rather than being able to use a useless legacy app...

And for that we don't need legacy apps...

Who's using Lightwave on a Pegasos ?
