Just an honest question: why do you feel Ambient is "so un-Amiga like"? I get it that it looks and feel different but "un-Amiga like"? I find most things very familiar from my Classic days. Unlike any Linux distro that I would really call "un-Amiga like".
I tend to agree with you, in that all the functions work the same.
Any Amiga user that knows how to reduce, enlarge, or bring a window to the foreground will immediately be able to use Ambient.
I don't understand, unless its only based on casual experience, where did the "un Amiga like" comments come from.
