It does't looks like a new (modern) OS. IMHO.

Why not? Not enough rounded corners, transparency, and 3d-effects for you?

for example, yes ;-)

But I guess it's usable... Though I can hardly believe it truly has the functionality my KDE environment provides, I can imagine it's pretty good for basic use.

No the whole style is back from the 90ies. Even Workbench 3.1 looks better.

are you looking at it's design or the appearance of the GUI? if the design, it's been a very modern OS from day 1! and that's the important part. Obviously every modern OS has features missing in every other - just because a particular feature may be missing in one modern OS doesn't make it any less modern.

Even though I use Linux everyday, I still don't consider it like a modern OS. The fact the version I use has been released only a few month ago doesn't make it any modern either.

Amiga OS4 doesn't bring anything new, but, put in perspective, mainstream OS aren't groundbreaking either. Give a Ford-T a new paint as much as you want, it's still a Ford-T.

True, AmigaOS 4 doesn't bring anything new. That's because the mainstream OS'es haven't caught up with AmigaOS yet (in regard to Desktop functionality, that is).
