Yeah, that persecution complex you need in order to be an Amiga user
takes a long time to shake off. <ducks>
I went from:
Basic->6809 Assembly->OS 9->VMS->Solaris->Mac->Win->Linux->Mac (OS X)
Having to move from what clearly qualify as OS's (OS 9, VMS, Solaris)
back to Mac and Win in the 1990-1994 timeframe sucked bad.
Fortnately, by 1995, Linux and FreeBSD were starting to run on hardware
that mere mortals could actually buy and use and enabled me to move back
off of the crummy machines.
However, Amiga people seem to have far too much nostalgia and not enough
clear vision. The Amiga had a couple of good features completely ruined
by being surrounded by a lot of crap.
