It's not even the point if cosmoe is 'useless' or not. We should expect and encourage these experiments because ultimately the platform is enriched when anyone can turn to haiku as a source for new ideas. They'll keep coming back for more. I wouldn't be surprised if someone tried the same thing with a bsd kernel or maybe take the haiku kernel and stick X11 and kde or something totally different and wacky. Nevertheless, an OS is more than just code and if you don't have the Haikummunity behind it, you don't have what Haiku is trying to become, which is a standard stable desktop platform that users and developers can rely on.

Haiku will face driver lack problems for ever, but Cosmoe has got the BeOS API, faster GUI than any traditional X11 desktop and a kernel that is improved every day with good hardware support.
