Like working with any other system, I suppose. There
are times when I'm
disappointed at not having access to certain niceties of modern computing,
but the system is very stable and stays out of my way. It is perhaps the
most well-conceived OS to ever have been on the market. It seems to
attract a certain class of developer, too, which translates for the most
part into applications which do their job well, and work in predictable
ways.
I can't view quicktime movies or listen to real
audio streams or play the
latest games or crash my browser with crappy javascript, but for the most
part I don't feel like I'm missing anything (except the quicktime
bit).
You can't crash your browser with Javascript? I'm slowly finding it necessary.
Mostly for commerce, though. What web browser is available?
NEXTSTEP is the one system that, despite heavy use of,
I have yet to be
frustrated by. That says a lot.
I see what you mean. =)

Amiga: (noun) The most technologically advanced computer that hardly anyone
cares about.
Use in sentence: "I wanted to buy an Amiga for its low price and great color
graphics, but everyone else seems to be using IBMs or Macintoshes. So, to
remain compatible with the rest of the world, I spent three times as much on a
Macintosh and got only half the graphics capability of an Amiga."
