I am a professional IBM programmer about to start a port of a game in progress
to the Amiga.  I'd like to hear facts and opinions about native and cross
development systems and tools.  I'd also like to know if the Amiga has
gotten over its early lamentable habit of munching disks with important
data on them, since that's not acceptable in a development environment.

So what are you using to write Amiga programs?  What's wrong with the tools
you have?  If you also program under UNIX or MS-DOS, how do the tools compare
with what's available there?  What are the essential documents necessary to
write code for the Amiga?  What's a minimal development system?  What have I
failed to ask that I should have?

Many thanks in advance,
