If it is easier to work with in the current context, then it's bound to 
work better sooner or later.

To people saying I'm just copying another project, I would respond:
"If it's that easy, why don't you show us how easy it is to write an NT 
kernel and hardware support?"

Or something like this:
"It would be like saying Linus Torvalds is not doing anything else but 
copying the GNU libc and user mode utils.
That doesn't make any sense."
