It seems like the majority of people are thinking like this but IMHO it is a stupid approach. If we make AmigaOS act like Unix then we don't need AmigaOS, we could use Unix instead. If a Unix developer is not willing to learn AmigaOS API, then he is not worth to be attracted for AmigaOS. We get better quality programs from true AmigaOS developers than from other platform's "porters".
