The Haiku alpha is barely out the door, and we already have another important news item about the open source reimplementation of the BeOS. About 18 months ago, Evgeny Abdraimov started porting the Qt4 graphical toolkit to Haiku, and now, we ave some seriously epic screenshots showing a multitude of Qt4 applications running in Haiku, as well as a developer preview release.

There's a quote from Arthur C. Clarke that went "A faith that cannot survive collision with reality deserves few regrets."
IMO, the same principle applies to alt. OSes and ported applications. Apps written using the native API(s) will be better integrated with the OS, more consistent with other apps on the OS, etc. If those advantages aren't sufficient to make native apps more compelling than their ported equivalents, then that OS is probably "worth few regrets."
