Variety is a good thing. Even if the alternative created isn't strictly better, it can brings new ideas to table and push innovation forward with alternative approaches. I'm happy they're creating an alternative OS to Android and hope that it really takes off. Even if it is never strictly better than Android, it at least gives us options. This is almost an exact parallel to the browser industry. I think most of us techies are in the boat that the existence of Firefox as a separate browser rendering engine from Chrome is a good thing for similar reasons, regardless of which can be argued to be functionally better.
