For me, it was small biz development stuff.  Most of the people I wrote code for were using Quickbasic on a PC, so that's what I was using, but I didn't have a PC at the time. :-)  Eventually, I came across Foxbase for DOS.  Started converting all the Quickbasic programs to Foxbase and I had to get a PC.
Yes, the Amiga could have done those things, buy the people I was getting paid by didn't have Amiga's.  :(

Oh well...

p.s.  I really liked Foxbase tho..  Even after I converted everything to FoxPro for Windows, I really preferred Foxbase for DOS.  :-)  Actually, I think one of my FoxPro apps is still in production..  Now THAT is scary..  ;)
