Personally I think the Amiga's options for most genres (apart from web browsing) are perfectly fine. The "problem" comes when trying to play along with the rest of the world and dealing with industry standards (standards that arent necessarily better/worse, but standards nonetheless).
Check. Most Amiga software is still perfectly usable, even on classic hardware. I would not have any problem if I had to use any of of my (classic) Amigas for day to day use, with the major exception of web browsing. Exchanging data with other, non-Amiga users will in several cases indeed be problematic but hey, I keep my data for myself.
Wordprocessing works nice. Wordworth and Final Writer provide you with most things needed. Superbase is good, e-mail is no problem. As are graphics-, sound- and many other types of programs. Most of these programs were made in the early to mid 90-ies.
And to be honest, I would also not have a problem to work with the Windows 3.1 programs of the same age. Those were the days of the 486 with Lotus Amipro and MS Publisher, which I used intensively back then.
The software of the early 90-ies, whether running on an Amiga, Atari, PC or Mac, should be reasonably easy for any current day computer user to get things done. This is (imo) much less the case for software of the 80-ies, with many more computer systems not having an acceptable GUI.
Even on the Amiga, we were 'hampered' with the 1.x range of the OS, which might be an improvement to MS-DOS, but can not be compared to later incarnations of AmigaOS.
Anyway, the Amiga still has nice and usable (although outdated) software. But it being outdated is part of the fun.
