I know AMOS got a bad review (which destroyed its reputation), but I have been using it for a good 2 years now, and its one awesome tool.
From what I can remember is that all reviews of AMOS were exceedingly positive in its time. Amiga Computing gave it the highest score ever to date; there were tons of courses and games programmed with it. I used it extensively for all sorts of tiny hands-on and proof-of-principle projects. Unfortunately, when AMOS Pro appeared, and sometime later the A1200, it quickly turned out that François Lionet's programming habits were less than honourable---AMOS was intricately tied to the ECS hardware, and making it available for AGA (or nowadays, OS4/MorphOS) would constitute a major rewrite of the not-too-well documented assembly sources.
That was the program's downfall.
