I've thought about quitting my real job and doing this. I won't now, because it's more useful to me in terms of leveraging to open the door to other opportunities. But if you're already a hacker anyway and you have a team or things you're working on, it totally makes sense. If you're just an "idea" person and don't really have it fleshed out, but want to devote more time to your idea, it's just not quite as good an idea I don't think.
