Top 5 reasons for persisting with Amiga

[Karlos]

At the end of the day, it's a preference. Do you need to justify everything you do just to do it?

I have PCs running Windows/Linux etc. If I want to do any serious work I'll use them as needed. If I want to actually have some fun, I'll use one of the amigas*

*not that I ever have the time these days :-(

Well, I like to use OctaMED as I find it a more natural way to compose... and it's great for getting percusion loops together.

I love OctaMED. Trackers are just so intuitive I tend to find.

Also I like to sample stuff using the Amiga and get a real 8bit grit sound that you simply can not get with bitcrushers.

Paula is such a dirty girl :-D Beyond the basic fact it's 8-bit, partially it's the total lack of any antialiasing filters and partially the non-linear amplitude response. Actually, even 14-bit sounds fabulously lo-fi on there too.
