Before you answer, please consider that, while the new Amiga systems being released are somewhat removed from the classics, they are not as far removed as the current Mac machines are from the classic Mac machines (and I don't think anyone is complaining that the latest Mac is not really a Mac -- On second thought, I guess someone is always complaining).
Anyway, please give it some thought. I'm still struggling with this question myself, though I have not yet lost sleep over it. There's probably no right or wrong answer, which makes me somewhat uncomfortable too.
Before we used to think its the hardware. After Commodore went bust we have learned its he OS no matter the flavor.
Its kind of "Amiga Zen" someone tried to explain here
