dunno about the analogy, but the sentiment is about right. i use AOS for enjoyment, not for work. that being said, i do a ton of sound-editing on my SAM with HD-rec, among others.
there seems to be a disconnect between those who think the amiga platform should continue on its own particular path and those who want to see the platform scrapped and the brand transitioned to a commodity platform (not that commodity platforms are bad, mind you). there will never be agreement between those who hold views on different sides of that divide. this conversation keeps happening over and over and over again. i would think folks would understand that they will not convince the holder of the opposite viewpoint.

as for power.org members providing desktop-class performance at prices conducive to the consumer marketplace, i think some might be surprised at what is available (and how competitive it is) by 2H 2013. that doesn't mean that all of a suddent AOS (or MOS, for that matter) becomes competitive in the consumer space; but it does mean our hobby can continue. freescale does have some very nice kit on offer currently, and for DAXPY-like workloads, i.e., stream-oriented, they will perform very well indeed.
also keep in mind that public pricing of microelectronics parts -- especially from freescale -- should be taken with a grain of salt.
