I don't know about any on this forum per se - though I would expect that there are - but I do know that there are plenty in OS dev circles in general. Many have gravitated towards Haiku (which started out as OpenBeOS but was forced to change its name after Palm threatened legal action), while others have taken their own inspiration from it.

It's called "Haiku OS" now, by the way. I like it because it is probably the only hobbyist OS with Wi-Fi support. In fact, it's very sad for me that original BeOS and BeBox have been discontinued.

It's only a hobbyist OS in the sense that Linux is. (And, yes, Linux does have WiFi support.)

If it comes to vanilla BeOS R5 then count me! I'm still normally using BeOS on my Sony Vaio Picturebook PCG-C1VE and what's more, I still write some applications for it. :)
