remember that pic, "stop liking what I don't like!"
that is a 2001 mentality.

now it is, "stop liking what I like!"

Imagine you don't really give a shit about tech and just want to be "different". you use ubuntu. but one day you see some other kid in your class using it. so you flip shit and install some obscure distro. next you read about someone else using it on the internet, you flip shit again and install a BSD. After a year or so you see some obscure shit website doing the same thing you're doing, "this BSD is sooo cool, but you know, you probably wouldn't like it, it actually does suck, (fuck off)". You flip shit again.

Now you are here.

People who really liked BeOS trying to make a modern equivalent. Some people treat computing as an enjoyable hobby, rather than something to mindlessly consume and show off.

Don't bother listening to projecting hipsters like >>51871200.

Fun things are fun. Some people enjoy programming.

BeOS still has the best GUI ever made.

It's just an exploration into an alternate OS architecture. It may never see any level of mentionable use in the wild, but that's fine, because software concepts tend to make bounding leaps when clean slates and green fields are involved.

*nix platforms are great and wonderfully fill the role of the tried and true workhorse, but they also drag around a lot of baggage and cruft that are very real impediments to continuing advancement in operating systems. Nobody is saying that Linux and the BSDs should be supplanted by Haiku... it mainly exists for "what if" factor, and there very well might eventually be something to it that any number of facets of the software world could learn from.
