Fact is that the USB stack in OS4 has always been one of the greatest weaknesses of the OS compared to other Amiga solutions,
Your opinion.
and ever since the first pre-release up till version 4.1 it has been one of the *least* prioritized areas of development, where not much has happened during the years.
Conjecture.
A user asks about *the current* situation, and the bottom line of your answer is that it will get better in the future.
No, actually, the bottom line of my answer is that for most people it works great, *and* that it will get better (actually is getting better).
OS4 would have so much to gain from going that route
But do you even recognise that you are the only one saying that OS4 would gain a huge amount from Poseidon.
I don't even have to link outside of this thread to back up my points. In this thread there are three people with direct experience of both Sirion and Poseidon (you're not one of them), and all three basically say that yes, Sirion is slightly behind Poseidon, but it works well enough for them.
Heck, in this same thread you say that you basically base your opinion of the quality of OS4.x and OS4.x related issues purely from threads where some users have problems. Never mind that quite often those problems are solved, or that people who DON'T have problems aren't likely to randomly start threads to tell you about it.
To give an example, I've seen loads of posts from people saying "I've bought a SAM440!", and only a few from people saying "I've bought an Efika!". Using your flawed logic, I could now post claiming that it was a fact that the SAM was massively outselling the Efika. Heck, i'd even have a stronger case since people from both sides are likely to post in forums (unlike in the example above). But I wouldn't do that. Because i don't have a clue about how many either board has sold.
I wouldn't have a problem with you if you just promoted MorphOS and Efika or whatever, but its the way you wade into threads about OS4.x and throw your opinion about as if its fact, especially when you're quite often wrong. Wouldn't you be annoyed if someone jumped into MorphOS threads banging on about how it "doesn't have a TCP/IP stack" or "doesn't have 64-bit DOS functions"? Wouldn't you correct them? Wouldn't it annoy you if it kept happening?
Just about the only thing that would make this thread better would be if somehow you brought up OWB being an SDL recompile again...
