If you dislike AmigaOS so much and think MacOs is so cool, then why are you wasting your time with AmigaOs? Just stick to your Mac, forget the Amiga and be happy :)

shit, yet fast operating system
If you think AOS is shit then what are you doing here? If it's about the games, then go and play a game and have fun. If it's not about the games, then why do you even bother? If you don't like AOS, then don't use it. No one is forcing you to.

Because when the stars Align right, and I've done all the chants and warmed up the dribbly candles it lets me get some work done.
What do you want to use AOS for?

I like how me becoming extremely annoyed at a lack of user friendlyness when attempting a basic task (That I can do ten times easier in a text editor in say, linux) is perceived as "trolling" (and not even the correct use of the word trolling). Because when a flaw is found, it is the users fault, the user doesn't deserve to use it and should sell it to somebody "worthy".
Getting annoyed is fine, calling an OS shit because it's not as easy to use as MacOs (which AOS is, no doubt) isn't right.

I also particularly like how an operating system that was designed with an actually decent UI (and indeed, everything else a none-programmer sees was designed better too) was characterized as "composed almost entirely of fail", yet the one that ties the end user up and beats them with electric stun batons is praised because the hardware it shipped on had a nice chipset, and the magic it was powered by was blue and not red or something.
The problem here is that MacOs isn't as powerful as AOS, it's simply more user friendly. Remember, there are two types of users: Users who want lots of control (AOS) and users who don't care about 'under the hood power' (MacOs). The quality of an OS is based on those two things: How powerful it is and how user friendly it is. In other words, both OSs have their fair share of problems. If you're going to use AOS, then you'll have to accept the fact that you're dealing with an OS that isn't as user friendly as it could've been.

To sum it up:

AOS - Powerful but reduced user friendliness.
MacOS - User friendly but reduced power.

Pick one and stick to it, or use both, but please stop thrashing AOS, thanks :)
