I don't doubt it functions well but the problem lies between the price and the performance and the outlook AMD has. I recently checked how much I spend on my card back then and it was about as much as you did on yours and it is still doing well enough for me. What I am not looking forward to is when I have to buy a new card that will be way more expensive and likely to not last as long and with that in mind AMD comes up short.
Seems that there is about to be some news about the new 500 range http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-rx-500x-series-spotted-on-amd-website.html
The laptop scene somewhat escapes me, did buy the Lenovo but that is to replace my ageing Linux box
The mining craze? I don't worry about that at all. I just camped Amazon on launch day and bought my card with Amazon as the seller for MSRP. With that said I had a buddy that didn't believe me that the miners were coming and never got a card for MSRP. Now he was and is still pissed off! Ha ha!
