I can almost understand why someone might feel attached to Linux and wish to see it succeed on the desktop more so than Haiku - but I recently dropped that attitude when I realised that it's none of my business if people choose to run windows or whatever, providing I don't have to maintain their computer. It wasn't until I actually tried using Haiku that I realised - hey, this thing is pretty good! It doesn't replace Linux at all, so at least as far as I'm concerned, the flaming looks pretty childish. It won't stop me using Slackware or FreeBSD as my own main Desktop since I'm a power-user.. but once Haiku has some productivity apps ported over to it, it makes for a great system for people that:
a) Don't care about the OS and just want to get something done.
b) Want a system that just does what it needs to do and gets out of the way
c) Is light, fast and thoroughly threaded for great media performance
..would find it great to use.
