I agree with you, being hard to develop for. But to say things as paul said is where the problem lies; "its useless, Id rather do X". Don't even bother posting if thats the type of stuff you're gonna say. And whether you like it or not, there is gonna be an XBMC port, people over the xbox scene are looking forward to it and it will come, rest assured. It might not be the same as what's going on for Windows or Linux atm, but a group will eventually come out with a working port.
The fact that its mainstream makes it more accessible for alot of people. When the hack will become more popular, which Im guessing it will, far more people will be able to help out, alot more experienced people and that means more dev.
Thinking the way you guys do makes it harder for others. Why do that if X can do it ? Why hack the original xbox for emulators while you have the original consoles that can do it. Its generally much more useful to emulate, same applies to the xbox 360 and having XBMC instead of its original media platform. There's so much more than what is proposed by it.

... Thats a close-minded way to think, the original xbox brought many things including XBMC, and guess what, it was way easier coding for windows or linux at that time. It brought something new.
