In many ways it is still ahead of its time today. All electrical signals coming from user input devices are causing interrupts in the CPU resulting in a jmp directly into the interrupt routine which gives you the unmatched I/O latency and responsiveness. In a world of USB polling, CPU sleep/wakeup, compositing desktops and slow switching LCD-Displays it is easy to see why people enjoy going back to the Amiga for good old times because some things really were better.
