Indeed, that's one criticism of Amiga that I've never really gotten. The lack of protected memory has always struck me as more of an advantage than a disadvantage, at least for the heavily interactive sort of stuff that Amiga is used for. Yes, in a server context Memory protection can be crucial, but for single user system, proper coding and a good memory allocator WITHOUT "hard" protection make for a much better performing system.
