Well the development team is incredibly small working on an 'entire OS' not just a kernel, in their spare time with little resources and funds compared to other open-source projects who have many more paid contributors working on a sub-system part of a Linux distro. I'd say the fact that Haiku is still alive and has most of the essential software is impressive given its situation.

Imagine if Haiku had fully funded developers working on the OS. It would be out a lot sooner with more features, but obviously that isn't the case.
