Yea, I did not like the Amiga. It just felt cheap. The low resolution "high res color graphics" were just Not Good compared to the crisp B&W Macintosh graphics. GEM for the Atari and PC suffered the same problem, it just looked terrible. Even Window 1 and 2 looked better than either of these.

The singular interesting thing from the Amiga was that you could drag down the current screen and reveal a screen beneath.

I never spent any time with the Amiga, to be fair, but I was off put enough by initial perception to not really even want to try.
