If the Amiga had (and that's the operative word here, "had") a future, it was in it dying a healthy death after C='s bankruptcy and ending up as a wholly emulated platform or as a pure hobbyist's box like the C= 8-bit scene.
Fact is, the fanatics, the "religious zealots" who even now make claims from Bizzaro World about the Amiga, what it can do, what it's going to do, not to mention the runaway infighting between two camps of people (about 1000 each) devoted to their overlords (both of whom are, oddly, named "Bill") make the Amiga a laughingstock.
"Amiga Persecution Syndrome" and the passive/aggressive...well, no, check that, just the plain old aggressive attitude of Amiga users keep the Amiga from being a fun hobby. The ones who still think the Amiga is poised to take over the computing world :crazy: and yet refuse to apprehend that the Amiga's operating system has miles to go before it can even be considered a contender amongst dark horses like BeOS (or whatever it's called these days) pretty much ruin things for anyone interested in seeing the Amiga make some headway.
Look, the Amiga, as a viable commercial entity is DEAD DEAD DEAD. But then so's the C64. So's the Spectrum. So are Apple 8-Bit systems. So's the Atari ST line. Yet all of those communities flourish and are enjoyable to look over. Nobody in those communities has delusions that they're going to topple Microsoft in "two more weeks" and it'll be "B-I-G!". Consequently they're more fun to watch and participate in.
If the Amiga has a future it's without the zealots, who quite frankly need to go off and find something else to prostelytize about.
