I used to use Amiga Forever (2012 Edition) and whilst Cloanto's supplemental DVD material is great (all manner of Amiga documentaries and speeches), I took a dislike to the frontend and the limitations it imposed. I felt a lot better once I discarded that package and just used the ROMs and WB disks with WinUAE by itself.

And then I discovered that Cloanto had altered the ROMs on a yearly basis! I think it's good that some company should hold the copyright for the Amiga Kickstarts and Workbench disks, but don't go altering them just to suit your ego, Cloanto! It's meant to be legacy software, after all!
