Isnt there something we can learn from them?

Atari Falcon chips has chunky mode, AGA has not.
Therefore, writing software for the Atari with the original chips, may still be a nice enjoyable hobby and give much joy.
When writing software for the Amiga with original chips done by Commodore  is humiliating hard boring work.

Does Akiko on the CD32 make it easier?

It is still the question of the speed of the system itself Akiko, its impact on the rest of the system.
In addition, in 640x400 16 bit mode, Atari Falcon, the individual pixels are not dependent on other pixels, so write software for this mode is much easier to write software for the Amiga HAM8 mode, and greatly cut the amount of work needed to write software.

I suspect the Atari forums are more peaceful because they don't believe in some sort of post apocalypse resurrection of the dead machine.  

The fastest Amiga with G4 are still faster than a PC with Atom processor.
Software that is written today must work on a PC slower than the fastest G4 Amiga.
You should accept that fact.
Even if the current price of the Amiga are too big for you.
