People don't want to do anything based driver development. Or at least they realize that writing a complete set of drivers isn't going to happen.
If I wanted sum LispOS, I'd build it on the Linux kernel, replacing everything from init on up. If I actually wanted video, I'd keep X as well, along with everything it needs.

NO! Everything must be written from the scratch. No corrupting influence of old inferior software is permissible. We must keep our minds and souls pure.

Anonix is going to be written completely in C and Asm.
It will be a hybrid (monolithic but modularized) kernel, with a new device namespace system (internally, but /dev will still have the old major/minor namespace that's mapped to the larger new device system)
You know what wouldn't fucking suck? Write the OS in a new language, or change the directory structure and filesystem layout, or do FUCKING ANYTHING DIFFERENT from every goddamn other OS.
Make an OS in Haskell, and build the filesystem with tags, rather than a hierarchical structure.
