I own three of them, and have quite a few friends that live in the Chicagoland area that own them as well. All I hear about it, is the hardware is outdated, there is bugs with Articia and so on and so forth.

The hardware is outdated when you compare it to what other products your money can buy. Of course it is still a vast improvement over the now practically fossilised architecture of the original Amigas. Now before people begin screaming: this is nothing but statement of fact, and in some ways, inevitable. (Science marches on, technology marches on.) The question is: does the machine do what you want? And for how much longer?

Maybe some of you should try the machine out before making judgement calls.

And that is where it all breaks down, doesn't it? Browsers, office suites, games to show off the Radeon and put the CPU through its paces, ... . I suppose one can create a system which to some extent works for a few select individuals, but  I won't be one of them. Can I just ask you, out of interest, what you do with your AmigaOne's?

[...] My two cents.

And the above were mine.
Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

Coding... Yes, you have everything you need for that: a decent editor and a good compiler. And a debugger, but Real Men don't use a debugger.

I am not a Real Man.
