It's impossible to mention all the people who have worked, and currently work on OS4, PowerPC motherboards, and application software.
But, here is a big "THANK YOU". I'm finally able to let go of all my Classic 68k hardware since the next generation has satisfied my needs and curiosities.
I know your feelings. Im a one amigacomputer only user so when i got OS4 for A1G4XE i sold my A4000. Now when i got my X1000 i sold the A1G4XE. Everytime happiness :)

Quite frankly, I bought my first Sam in June 2009 because I was bored to death and wanted something to play with. I however never expected that I'd use it as much as I used my A500 and A1200 back in the 1990s! I wasn't much of a gamer then so I don't really miss the old stuff that doesn't run under OS4. The OS itself is, too, a great improvement. I used a PC-emulated OS3.9 system for years and I can tell that OS4 is way more advanced than Classic Amiga defenders would want to admit.
I use my SAM460 daily as my main computer and use my MacBook Pro less and less, returned from a period away from the Amiga of 5 years and am enjoying computing again, yes we are missing some things but all in all a good experience
SAM 460 with 2GB or RAM, 1000GB HD, 4 port SATA, DVDRW drive and Radeon HD 4650 GFX card.
+1 love using my 460 for as much as I can and I am very grateful that their are people who have the time to develop software for OS4 as well as them actually working on OS4.
I was just about to create such thread, seriously! I wish to join the thanks to AmigaOS developers.
I'm a proud owner of AmigaOS 4.0 Classic on Amiga 1200T PPC and also I've got loaned Sam440ep with AmigaOS4.1. I was pretty impressed when first launched AmigaOS 4.0, the system was looking exactly or similiar to Windows in terms of beautifulness of desktop and usefulness.
You guys at AmigaOS development team are making a very nice job at keeping AmigaOS up to date. I am a programmer aswell and a computer science student and made some small utils for AmigaOS 4.0 already. I decided to make programs to AmigaOS (not only 4.0, but also earlier versions because I'm classic fan) to keep these systems with latest software.
My programs are for now quite small but fast and running natively. I thing that the most important factor in porting on or making software for AmigaOS 4.x is to keep the quality and program efficiency at optimal level.
I never really rurned to another OS, Amithlon (till my box died) then AmigaForever & Amikit gave me the wanted speed & now my SAM440ep is really sufficient for my needs.
