What's the motivation?

This is not a sarcastic question or anything. I was an Amiga users for years, and I loved it back then... but computing and OSs have come a very long way since then, at least in terms of how compelte they are. Amigas were far superior to everything else in terms of hardware as well. But now, I can't see a single motivating factor for the continued development of this project besides good old Amiga fanatism.
Are there any specific advantages to this platform? Something that is actually a real advantage or point of interest?
