I agree here, mostly. Having multiple options is a good thing, especially in this very early stage. If one company or programming team dissolves, there's somewhere else to turn.
At the same time, though, we've also taken on a not-so-constructive aspects of the Linux community, where so many people spend their time trying to reinvent the wheel with different distributions, that the platform itself tends to tread water. Can you imagine where we'd be if the efforts directed at just one of OS4/MOS/AROS/Amithlon was directed toward somethig everybody could enjoy? Perhaps we'd already have a Mozilla port, an OpenOffice port, or a handful of other really good apps? :-(

I don't think you can say that, because nobody's really given it a proper try. Apple was on course in the mid-90's, but then Steve Jobs returned and killed the Mac clones. This is probably our last, best shot at establishing a competing platform to the PC, and I think it's certainly worth the effort.
