Syllable, AtheOS Kaj de Vos made two big announcements at SylCon 2007. The first was a new web browser, based on a port of WebKit. The second is Syllable Server, which will bring together the Syllable GUI with the Linux kernel to create a server operating system that compliments Syllable on the desktop. Syllable Server is not based on any existing Linux distribution and will look and feel as much like Syllable as possible.

Things like hardware support, ease of integration and licenses (Both Linux & Syllable kernels and userland are mostly GPL & LGPL) are the main reasons. DirectFB is also a pretty good one.
