there will be different views (now and in future) and that is perfectly ok, because it is just a hobby for all of us. When the market is big enough for them to support development it is ok. But it will be very hard to create growth and attract new buyers.

So what do you make out of this? What would be a sane marked to go for? Where can the brandname grow? Where to find the money to actually have money for further development of a product, in a pace fast enough, that the platform can be useful for normal use, and preferably also a market that can offer something others can not?

Those guys only played games on the thing and moved to PCs and Macs (the very first computers they actually used for work) after a short while. Let them buy their iPads. On the other hand there was people also working on (or that learned their profession on) Amiga, they sticked to the platform till they could, buying expansion cards and OS updates (I know of a local studio doing film mountage for marrieges and so on, doing work on heavy loaded A4000s till 2007!) AmigaOS 3.9 solde more than 13.000 copies and it it is in the latter niche that Aeon will initially try to pull customers.

Yeap, I fully agree, those ex-amigans don't know anything about computers. I just came across a guy that asked me for memory protection, USB 2.0, dual core support, 3GB Ram+, FPS rate on a 10 years old 3D game (QIII) and some other stuff. I told him the same: Go buy a x86 evil pc, an Ipad you little Apple slave! AOS4.x is so optimized that doesn't require ANY of the above.
