The Amiga user base always divides itself into "shirts" and "skins."
Cybergrafix v. Picasso96 and PowerUP v. WarpUP are just a couple
examples. I think it is a side effect from a passionate user base.
These battles are not seen in the PC world because it is a
dictatorship. Amiga users are much more empowered. Just think of all
the software that were written by user-developers that we cannot live
without: MUI, AHI, Miami(DX), VisualPrefs, Birdie...the list is huge!
Amiga passion has its good and bad points. The current fighting is
one of the bad sides, but it will sort itself out.
