I don't see the point making such a comment either, yet you made it.
What's so wrong with having multiple options that, in every Haiku thread, someone makes a comment like this?
- vadimberman 9y agoPerhaps because there is an actual point in it? How many users will this system have at its peak, in your opinion?
- agildehaus 9y agoYou could say literally the same thing about any OS when it was at this stage of development. So what, we should never produce a new operating system ever again?
- vadimberman 9y agoThis stage of development is: based on an OS that died quietly over a decade ago. Not exactly "new operating system", isn't it?
- agildehaus 9y agoWhat a tremendously poor argument. NeXTSTEP never caught on and was a commercial failure. macOS is based on it. Netscape Communicator was open-sourced after it fell to Microsoft and later became Firefox. Not everything that dies deserved to. Successors are not their predecessors. BeOS provided a good base for developers to work towards, so the project wouldn't get bogged down in trying to be "something new".
