Browsers are big. There's not really been a from-scratch browser written since the 90s, so there's not really any comparison point as to how long it takes.
It's also worthwhile remembering that Gecko has over ten times the number of developers that Servo does—yet Servo has to catch up with much of what Gecko has done to it!
Servo is certainly getting there (and honestly, the progress that's been made is incredibly impressive, both in terms of the man-hours involved per-feature and in absolute progress: many features are being implemented far quicker than they were in other browsers), and it seems plausible that this time next year there could be something relatively usable.
