A number of developers return (I can remember one here posting recently) because it seems that it is offering more fun and additional it will give them more potential users and easier distribution because you can run it almost everywhere. The "pain" can be solved easily, drop "NG" . We will see how the situation will be in a year from now, I do not believe that much will improve regarding "NG".

Regarding users, for me a user is someone who can theoretical use (and buy) my software, if he uses the OS daily or a couple of hours weekly is not interesting to me. If you look f.e. on facebook pages you can see how much bigger the potential 68k market is compared to NG, you also see it when looking at amiga 68k orientated hardware projects, activity on 68k orientated forums, there is nothing NG related that can compare.
