> USB 3 support seems.. Basic at this point?

I think you underestimate the sophisticated complex problems of USB 3. Even for a hobby OS this is a massive achievement.

It is a massive achievement just like the home made car I mentioned.

The car has to compete against Tesla, Ford, Toyota though, does it cut it? Does Haiku cut it against Linux, Windows, the BSDs?

Maybe I have unreasonable expectations that it should.

The car can exist for its own sake. The builder had fun making it after all. I thought the idea was that we were all going to be driving round in our own home made cars.

So am I judging it on the engineering skill of the builder, as his hobby project? Or an I judging it as my next potential car?

I can forgive that home built car not having crumple zones, radio, opening windows. They are hard to do, as a car buyer they are basic things I expect.
