A revival of the Amiga spirit is not going to be achieved through hardware, no matter how powerful it is. The kind of quality improvement the Amiga offered over its contemporary 8-bit brethren simply cannot be achieved anymore, given that we already have near-photorealistic realtime raytracing in consumer hardware anyway. That leaves the software side of things. What the Amiga brought to the table, and what still has value today, is its attitude towards how you use a computer: "Simple things should be easy; complex things should be possible." Is such a thing still possible today? ...maybe, but it would require a very different software design ethic than we see today; one where the primary goal for any piece of software is existing within an ecosystem, and enabling cooperation between software packages instead of locking everything down as much as possible. And an OS that puts the user first, instead of itself.
