     @mntmn @spaceraser @Truck I'm not sure Amiga's history explains why people still stick to it. Yes, the system is built in elegant ways, it is lightweight, flexible, feels very modern despite its age. It has a lot to teach to an engineer.

     But - as with most retro platforms - the fact it still has an user base these days, is more a cultural and a social phenomenon with a big blob of added nostalgia, rather than a matter of technology or history, IMO.

     (Yes, what I mean is "fly, you fool". 😅 )
