Aros x86 is worth nothing crap.
Aros x86 is not source and binary compatible and is not modern for example aros has not memory protection, resource tracking, suport for multicore.
Aros 68k is attempt to clone Amiga Os 68k.
Aros 68k with many patches and libraries made for Amiga Os 68k is enough source and binary compatible with Amiga Os 68k.
With some work aros 68k is nice os almost as good as Amiga Os 68k.
The one and only problem with Aros 68k is speed.
Fast 68k cpu not exist and Aros 68k is usable only on uae.
It is sad but after many years of lies and cheating gunnar von boehn and his followers still does not provide fast 68k cpu.
Natami/vampire crap is still slower than 68060 80 MHz and this is not enough to run aros 68k fast.
Aros X86 has modern browser all other platforms not have... that are the two sides of the coin, it is almost impossible to port modern software to PPC (or 68k) because of endian issues. Yes Aros basically inherits the conceptual disadvantages of 3.X but that is true for all current platforms. That might be different for MorphOS after ISA change but (like always) it will come with a price. You will then say it is not amiga anymore, then you can use linux too (how true or wrong this might be).
Aros has some problems when running on slow 68k hardware, it is obvious that it was created for PCs with graphic cards, f.e. graphic output is slower with less colours in opposition to 3.X. The reason propably is that it calculates in 24bit internally. It is compiled with GCC (like all versions) but GCC supports 68k not very good today. Featurewise it offers much more than 3.X with many components and patches included by default. Compatibility is good, good means many applications and games work but not all. These problems certainly could be resolved when more people would use it and report problems. Regarding "Vampire crap", talk to the people using it with 3.X. I do not blame Gunnar that Aros at the moment is not perfectly running on it. The only problem is that both Gunnar/Apollo team and most users prefer 3.X so for me it is no longer interesting. I am happy with running it in UAE on modern hardware anyway and do not need "real hardware" to be happy. In emulation I can even outperform some of your beloved PPC platforms.
