I don't see the big deal, I run half a dozen virtual machines including Amigas, they all run fine without a problem, though sometimes I get confused which is the host, but that's a good thing...
UAE is the most compatible Amiga I've ever owned....
Indeed. The future is in VMs. I don't care how well some crappy old multiplane scrolling jump twitch game plays or doesn't. If the Amiga has anything to offer beyond insular nostalgia, it'll be in an emulated format.
Otherwise it's a dead platform.
