Why

    We believe, there is no ideal Operating System on the market. During ExectOS development, we try to bring most useful features known from existing solutions, while keeping compatibility with NT™ architecture at desired level.
    Some of our ideas differ greatly from other projects and it is much easier if we do not have to fight legacy code and ideas.
    We need the freedom to break things when necessary.


... those are reasons why the author is writing it, which I guess is a plausible answer.

But there is no reason to use it as a user or application developer, which are the far more important Whys.

As a tangent, what will really impress me about AI/LLM is if major projects like this gain huge amounts of usable ported/translated code using the LLMs.

So you start a kernel, but we all know you need a desktop environment, graphics subsystems, shell environments, terminal apps, etc.

LLMs seem best suited for breadth-knowledge application. Porting of apps between apis that doesn't involve deep algorithms on a major scale would actually show me they are useful outside of parlor tricks.
