When I Was child I saw the Amiga vs Atari battle,
Oh.. you are young.. It was much more interesting at the time of Commodore 64 and Spectrum (at least in Europe). Atari had no *** chanse against Amiga. :-P
Altough I think that this keeps the platform alive, do you REALLY think that we need to fight agains a brother os like MOS? I would have never started the project because of the community split it has produced, but since it is here ...

Well.. What keeps platforms alive is either sheer nostalgia (like old Amigas) or new development. And even though these fights don't itself much help on development they do sometimes point out the parts that need to be enhanced for making better product.
Otoh, it's not allways best for peronal relations between people on different factions.. But it's a bit difficul to say which way causality goes. At some people at least it sees that their old hatred and mistrust to others has driven then to do what they do.
