Re: Which OS Would Be The Best Amiga Way Forward...

Not to be blasphemous, but in looking at alternatives, don't forget Haiku (BeOS).

If you look at how AmigaOS was intended to go to a more object oriented design, Haiku starts looking pretty similar and it runs on both x86 and PPC with an ARM port in progress.

Like AOS it has a highly responsive UI, good multimedia capabilities, heavily threaded plus memory protection, AGP, PCI, PCI-e, USB, WiFi in progress, quite a few existing apps...

Many of the things we're trying to shoe-horn into the AOS3-like OS's are already there.

I dare say that had AmigaOS continued development, it would have had little more resemblance to AOS3.1 than BeOS does.

Edit:  I forgot that Translators are pretty much a direct rip off of Datatypes.
