Same experience here for Aros / Icaros (latest release).
With being out of the Amiga / Morphos / Aros scene for a couple of years I tried Icaros because I can run it during my train commute to work.
I was excited for a few minutes but the problem is that despite the great improvements in the last year or so it is neither stable nor have a fraction of the software natively I could run on MorphOS back in 2002 !
Icaros is a great thing since it puts together the best pieces you can get on Aros. Unfortunately once you want more there is not much you can do since there are very few Aros binaries.

If only I could run MorphOS in a VM ...
