I know you're all tired of hearing this from me, but I've never regretted moving away from legacy hardware.
I've got faster, cheaper, better performing hardware with an OS that lets me run old and new applications.

oh jeez, Iggy, beating THAT dead horse again :rolleyes:

Of course. Since NG machines represent the only segment of the Amiga community that's growing I can't help it.
MorphOS has almost 2000 registered/licensed users. I'm not sure how many AOS4 users there are, but I'd be willing to bet that numbers at least as large. And AROS, since its free has its growing user base too.

How many legacy machine user can there be when the equipment hasn't been made for a decade and a half? Less each year would be my guess.

The only thing that could reverse that trend is FPGA projects like the Natami and the Replay.
