Personally: CP/M just seemed more "accessible" to me than (MS) DOS, in the
same way that m68k did over x86 - not without their quirks, of course, but
better suited to the way my brain worked.
When comparing systems it's probably best to qualify things with a
timeframe, I always think. I lost faith in Apple quite some time ago, but
have always admired the early machines for their simplicity and
hackability. I liked the Amiga more than the ST, but don't know enough
about Atari's earlier machines to make a call there.

I have not seen a more useless off topic thread
in a while.
If we want to talk religion why not talk about
Commodore vs. Atari
Apple vs. IBM
CP/M vs. DOS
80x86 vx 68xxx
The good old days, where zealots ranted on technology.
Ones' complement arithmetic vs. two's complement--or where to put the
apostrophe?
