The problem (?) with AROS is that you cant run existing 68k software on it. You must be a developer to get something out of it. One could argue is existing 68k software really useful but at least it provides something to use...

I dont think anyone consider AROS is bad or something. It just loses to WinUAE (but there is AfA).

EUAE still loses on about everything to  WinUAE and editing text files in UAE is not funny (because your favorite text editor is not available and native offerings are crap).

When I moved to Pegasos I copied contents of my Amiga HD to Pegasos and continued using my favorite programs and tools (had to delete some). I could continue using system I was used to and it certainly makes it easier.
