Microkernel hatred is a peculiar phenomenon. Sheltered users who have never had any background in much beyond Windows and some flavor of free monolithic Unix, will, despite a general apathy or ignorance in the relevant subjects, have strong opinions on the allegedly dreadful performance and impracticality of “microkernels,” however they define the term (and we shall see that a lot of people have some baffling impressions of what a microkernel is supposed to be).

Microkernel rules, it rules just what it has to rule... instead of ruling everything ... I mean...
What date is today ?
microkernels are actually faster than hybrid. read about seL4

Did read a bit about seL4 (nicta papers and gernot heiser blog). It's amazing.

If context switches can be that fast compared to Linux (seL4), why aren't systems like Minix3 or Genode getting plenty of attention?

Nobody cares those. Use a dumbed rtos if you want speed, not a bloated CS meme.

Dumbed RTOSs are generally shit and run everything in supervisor mode.
Capabilities are awesome. The 3rd gen of µkernels has such crazy potential.

Ended up throwing elinks at it. That sure helped.
