I certainly did. The A4000 had an 040 CPU so I would be worried about compatibility. Not so much for the 'incremental' A1200, though it was a pretty big 'increment'.
Being different from contemporary PCs and consoles was definitely a plus too. It was worth it just for the case alone. KS3.0 was wonderful compared to the PC's crappy DOS and Windows 3.x, and even more wonderful compared with what you didn't get on a console (OS, disk drive, keyboard, mouse, RAM...). Having a 68020 instead of a crappy x86 or bastardized 6502 was a big plus too, along with the ability to write code for it on the actual machine. Nothing beat the Amiga's multitasking for development work.
