Erm.
Datatypes is an important one. With PPC, I have 800x600 24bit JPEG backdrop
images which I have DOpus scaling(!) to 1024x768. With 68k, I have an 80x80
8bit tiled IFF.
It's a shame SAS/C's PPC support didn't continue to evolve. If it produced
good code which could support PUP, WOS, MorphOS, then many people would be
able to recompile existing programs straight off. As it is, many need reworks
almost akin to porting to compile on something like StormC.
A PPC is useful if you know what you want to do with it (e.g. games),
otherwise if you go looking for uses you might not find what you want...

Erm, am I imagining it or isn't PPC Imagine available through the CUP?

Let's just blame H&P.
