No argument there. The Amiga is a work of art. The ST blitter is pretty nice though and criminally underrated. You know it can do four pass hflipping and 2x/4x/8x/16x scaling of raster images?
It has an indirect addressing HOP smudge mode and more flexible masking registers.
BTW running code from fast RAM on a 4 bitplane screen is actually faster than using chip memory. Branches and shifts don't need to be aligned on 4 cycle boundaries.
