I am seeing a tendency that system research is very much underappreciated (not only OS). To me personally there is kind of a crisis in terms of methodology. People in my area (ubicomp, not the classical USENIX crowd) got fed up with too much of "yet another" and moving sideways. No research methodology to see things moving forward. The most frustrating thing in my area to me is that we are still teaching achievements at PARC on how to connect to right printer or include people into an overlay network based on context. In reality there wasn't much achievement over boring client server architectures with operating systems just focussing at getting those faster. Out of frustration the community largely moved to human interaction and data analytics. In the end IMHO it might have been the missing business models that then influence the available funding that triggered much of the missing love in the area. You need to give researchers incentives..

Ahh, that’s a fair critique.
