Not really. The commercial success comes from the fact it faster runs existing apps. The new features have nothing to do with that.

Toni Wilen said it himself : whole thing is developer hostile.
New features are complex and don't help at all for programming flexibility. Actually, quite the opposite. They're 100% speed oriented and pay no care about ease to code, code density, cleanness of architecture. IOW in another cpu family they might have been 'nice', but on the 68k they completely miss the point.
The problem lies in that the new features need coders to support them, where it's the new features that should instead support coder's needs.
As for switching to PPC, x86 or Arm, that can't fully replace 68k for the same reasons.
