The Amiga was a terrible machine for hobby programmers. It was way too complicated. Making programming easier would have also resulted in more commercial software for it.

It wasn't easy to program the 68k mac either. I don't think there was a really easy-to-use system for GUI programming until Microsoft's Visual Basic. Would you have preferred something like Plan 9 or a Smalltalk workstation?

  Something like Turbo Pascal with support for high-level GUI programming would have been ideal.

      Like whatever was available in 1985.
