You don't seem afraid of angering people with comments like that.
I think you're right. But you also have to consider the fact that linux is the only reliable open source kernel which developers know how to use. The mere fact that's it's both maintained, open source and used by many is a big feature. It doesn't have to at the bleeding edge.
Even if it's 70's era tech, it's still a good enough tech for many things. Its sole aim is not directly compete with proprietary kernels, it's just because it's just cheaper and more free.
I wish minix would get more attention too, but I think kernel choices boils down to what hardware you have.

In my 'day job' (as far as I have one) I get paid to speak my mind and not to weasel around the issue, compared to that speaking my mind without 'fear of angering people' in an online forum comes pretty easy and I don't think anybody that really knows his stuff would be angered by this. It is much harder to write a report for a VC detailing a potential investment when every word matters. I can agonize over a report for days in order to make it fair and not to leave ambiguity in.
