Because Unix runs most existing open source software. Because Unix is
the only ISO standardized OS. Because Unix has been available on what
Joe Hacker has used. And remember, Unix is snake oil.
"Many Unix fans generously concede that VMS would probably be the
hacker's favorite commercial OS if Unix didn't exist; though true, this
makes VMS fans furious." -- The Jargon file
Seriously, I don't see any reason that would motivate me to clone any
existing operating system besides Windows, Macintosh or Unix. Surely, we
can do better a second time around, and they don't have the huge
software and brain base that would make bug compatibility with them
useful.
