What I understood was that they work on SerenityOS solely because they
like working on it. It doesn't matter if it ever becomes widely used, or
popular, or whatever. I don't think they approach it as some sort of
problem that needs to be solved, or think that they have a better way of
doing things than anyone else. It exists, they enjoy working on it, and
if anyone else likes using it or working on it that's just gravy.

It's kind of like 20+ years ago when I used Linux or FreeBSD as my
desktop. People would tell me I'm missing out, or these OSes will never
go anywhere, or they'll never be widely used on the desktop, etc. I
didn't care what other people thought because I liked using what I was
using and they were perfectly fine for me. (Several of my friends used
to get the same kind of comments about their Macs.) I also got the same
kind of thing back when I used OS/2.

If SerenityOS is something you find cool, that's wonderful. If not,
not.

I do think that it's pretty cool that they've done all of this on their
own and that they've created an OS. I accept it as it is and
congratulate them for what they've done.
