    Remember when, as a user, you just went into Font Preferences and told the system which font you prefer, and your apps complied because the computer's purpose is to do whatever the user wants?

    Software designers shouldn't even know what font their app uses. That's determined at runtime.

    you all know that if you buy a modern MB with a PowerPC in it you can run the true AmigaOS http://www.amigaos.net/

    but it's hard to argue about how AmigaOS and Workbench would have evolved if it the product hadn't died,

    I take this precise statement back. There is an extant example of the evolution of the Amiga Desktop, and it's here. And frankly, it does look (to me) like the "proper" evolution of the classic Workbench.

    the desktop look & feel are probably designed to specifically hearken back to that earlier aesthetic.

    OTOH, this statement I stand behind, and now actually feel more strongly about. This Linux distro's desktop design is probably a deliberate choice to reinforce the nostalgia for the Workbench 3.x look and feel on platforms like the A1200 or A4000, with a touch of Demoscene aesthetics. Maybe a cynical attempt at manipulation, maybe an honest homage to the old sk00l.

    If it doesn't run AmigaOS it's not an Amiga. Heck, AmigaOS 4.1 was released not too long ago. http://www.amigaos.net/
