End of the day it doesnt really matter. Amiga, in all forms is a relic. One with some great ideas behind it that are suitable for the modern world still, but a relic nonetheless (heck, even beta lost the "war"). If a person worries about what others think then theyre going to be constantly disappointed. On paper the feature set of all "amigas" make it appear humble at best, but only people who know the system understand that its not a machine you can always compare on paper to others .
If you enjoy an amiga system then simply enjoy it. Outside approval/non-mockery may never happen, but if that's important to a person then they've chosen the wrong hobby. Chasing approval and/or trying to justify using the system(s) in the modern world has so far played a big part in why the outside world tend to look at us as though we're retarded.
Just enjoy it for yourself. Nothing else should matter, and if you happen to find some others who share your interest along the way, then that's just a bonus.
All that said however, if you want someone to understand, get them to use an amiga exclusively for a few weeks to a point that they know the system ok. It's the only way people will truly get it. Sure, it may not cope with industry standards so well sometimes (not the same as being incapable of comparable results), but there absolutely are certain charms and ideas worth preserving.
In some ways the Amiga being so far ahead of the curve ball 20-25 years ago is responsible. We had a machine doing similar things to what's done today and when mainstream consumers see/hear the idea of people using such an old machine it probably would seem strange, after all, "it's only in recent times computers have been so 'friendly'". (to people on the outside)
So, my final summary is, "I enjoy the system, what's it to you?".
