Perhaps because there is an actual point in it? How many users will this system have at its peak, in your opinion?

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".
