Will Amiga ever live again?
Of course. It only stays carbon-frozen until in the future scientists have discovered a cure.

I think that AGA was better than VGA as well.

AGA was proven less desirable in the long run e.g. with arrival of ID's Doom (1992) and Origin(now EA)'s Wing Commander. This is turn spurn other X86 PC games of similar era e.g. Rise of Triad, Indy Car, Mech Warriors 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Dark Forces 1, X-Wing, Decent, Tie-Fighter, DOOM2 and clones of DOOM.
I thought the Akiko chip with it's chunky->planar conversion should be able to deal with this. Alas, I haven't seen much games supporting it.
