TD had some interesting ideas when it came to simplifying the system, but I think the average person wants something inbetween a mainframe and a microcomputer.
In linux/unix there is too much focus on the "multiuser" and "timesharing" aspect of the system, when in the modern day you generally have one user with a ton of daemons so you forced to run daemons as their own users and then have some sort of init system to wrangle them all. A lot of the unixisms are not as elegant as they should be (see plan9, gobolinux, etc).
TempleOS is more like a commodore 64 environment than an OS: there's not really any sort of timesharing going on and the threading is managed manually by userspace programs. One thing I like is that the shell language is the same as the general programming language (HolyC).
