>Amiga OS is what Commodore gave us.

I don't see what's so special about Commodore. That's like saying an Escom A1200 is not a real Amiga, only the Commodore ones are.

>Everything since is either tweaks or attempts to grab money from rich fanboys.

I wouldn't call the enhancements in OS3.5/3.9/4 "tweaks", they are considerably more significant than the enhancements between certain Commodore versions (eg. 2.04 -> 2.1).

I don't recall OS3.9 or OS4.1FE being very expensive and I don't think the developers of them made much money out of them.
