Oh dear, I guess I started this thing…so I'd better see it
through…
First off, while it's apparantly hard for us to be impartial in our
comments, PC bashing, Amiga bashing etc… don't really achieve
anything.
Let's start off with some constructive comparisons : (1) Speed.
Real world speed is obviously a function of both Software and
Hardware. For most of us, our real-world tasks fall into several
categories : Painting (PhotoRetouching). IMHO – Photoshop for
features, PSTyler for speed win on the PC. Multi-Image Processing –
Animator on the PC if 256 colors is enough. Imagemaster on the Amiga
if it ain't (yukky interface tho'). 3D modelling and rendering –
it's tough, I use 3D Studio and Lightwave equally. I prefer the
layout of 3D Studio (and screen res etc..) but for metal thingies
Lightwave wins. General Business Software (WP/Spreadsheets/PIM's
etc..)..Windows wins hands down.
anyhow……see the note titled 3D challenge.
