It's a unique machine with unique hardware and software. What it sets out to do it does well. MOS on the other hand does nothing no other machine does (in fact it shares most of its sftware base with other machines), and its hardware is quite generic.
This. I don't use my Amiga because I want it to be exactly like a modern PC, I use it because I like it for its own sake and its own peculiar nature - same with all my other old computers.
