I've owned one, though i never programmed for it. But from what i know, i guess the answer is that the amiga is very close to a modern computer, in that it has specialized chips for graphics and sound (Denise and Paula), making many tasks quite easy, but is still weak enough to force most programs to be relatively simple. At the same time there's also still a very active competitive amiga programming community², making things like these: link -- link -- link -- link -- link to this video ² link

Very few things in life compare to kicking back late at night, turning on the Amiga and spending the next 12-15 hours in ASM-One writing and executing 68k assembly in tight feedback loops -with the occasional crash- until exhaustion forces one to stop. I spent the best years of my life with the Amiga and I wish I could do it all over again.. Later, I moved on to doing realtime graphics in DOS, first with Turbo Pascal and inline assembly (reading Denthor/Asphyxia tutorials) and eventually C and although I have fond memories of that period too, the Amiga will always remain supremely vivid in my memory. Utterly unforgettable. The meaning of life is to become a legend: link to this video
