I don't have much experience with the Atari ST, so I can't really write a long comment here. From what I've seen though, the OS looks and feels a lot worse than the Amiga Workbench.

It was kind of OK, but inferior in many ways.
I have an Atari 520STfm and an Atari 1040STf sitting at home .... I still 'sometimes' play on them, but much prefer the Amiga.

They STs weren't exactly robust.
A few mates had them and they seemed to be very flakey.
Games locking up on a regular basis, parts breaking and the like.
All though they all claimed the machines were fine until I walked into the room.
Maybe the machines sensed my hatred and it unnerved them.
