"useful type of software that is unique" Hmm. You mean like those
animation packages that use the amiga specific hardware ?

For ease of use, right now, as it stands, I would have to say the mac is
the easiest way to get good black and white illustrations down on paper;
I just spent a couple of days fighting with Dpaint, IFF -> PS convertors
and hacking in some postscript code just to get some illustrations
for a manual finished. But, that could change and somebody could write
a decent macwhatever clone for the Amiga. Where it really shines, is playing 
with video both in post production, but also generation and synthesis of 
images.

In simpler terms, you wanna write a small book ? Use a mac. You wanna
play Andy Warhol ? Use an amiga. Sure either computer can do either,
but each does its own 'type' of work with more relative ease.

Disclaimer: No computer wars, please. You should own one of each :-)
