I think one of the big features was the amount of stuff built into the ROM- full IDE, word processor, paint, OS and GUI etc. That gives such a freedom akin to the 8bit machines to encourage coding as the baseline is always there, it's unbrickable, fast and more reliable than a hard drive.

Speed wise it could run rings around a low-end 486 for computation, but it had hardware scrolling, timers for interrupts, 800x600 with 256 chunky colours, 8channel DMA sound and so could do perfect Amiga ports.
