No, it is clear that good, stable OS feels unimportant. I'm talking from current perspecitve. In the 90s we've lived in a different computer world. It just can't be compared.

Since Commodore went under in 1994, Windows 3.x is what Amiga was competing against. Even though 386 PCs with VGA and Sound Blaster cards were superior to AGA Amigas, Workbench was so far ahead of Win3.1 that overall things were in Amiga's favour. Windows 95 took away a lot of that advantage, and Win 2000/XP obliterated it (plus PC hardware kept improving). It shows how much ahead of its time AmigaOS was in the 1980s when it was written, that it took an OS written in 1998/1999 to overtake it (most of the AmigaOS changes in the late '80s and early '90s were either for hardware support or cosmetic - the core OS remained unchanged since about 1987). But it's well and truly overtaken - a lot of the basic aspects of AmigaOS's design are very obviously rooted in the late 1970s / early 1980s (BeOS is an example of an OS that has a more modern design).
