SkyOS has gotten DMA support. "There's support for VIA, AMD, Intel and SiS chipsets, more will come. What does it mean? Less CPU usage and a huge speed increase for the supported PATA/SATA controllers, just check the changelog for initial benchmarks." It is available as an update for beta testers, which besides the DMA update, also includes updated drivers.

Expecting ANYTHING to be full featured in day 1 is just arrogant, development takes time... They even specificly mention that SkyOS is still BETA on their page.
Anyway, there was a problem and they fixed it. That's what we call improvement. It doesn't matter if they had it five years ago or not, it's what they have now that matters.
