Regardless of what you do, you should have the RKM's. Just because
you're not making "boring utilities" doesn't mean you should disregard
the guidelines given for programming the Amiga. If more game
programmers followed the guidelines I'd be buying more games. I just
can't justify paying a lot of money for a program that treats my Amiga
as a souped up C64.

I didn't buy this machine for the (back then) fancy graphics and
sound. I bought it because it had a multitasking operating system. I
have never been interested in graphics as such.  High resolution is,
for me, just a way of stuffing more data on one screen. I don't care
about colors. My default preferences are a black background and three
shades of gray.
