To me, a project's "hype-ness" is the ratio of how much attention it gets over how useful it actually is to users.

As a browser, Ladybird usefulness is currently quite limited for obvious reasons. This is not meant to dismiss its achievements, nor to overlook the fact that building a truly useful browser for everyday users is something few open source teams can accomplish without the backing of a billion dollar company. Still, in its present state, its practical utility remains limited.

By this definition all basic research is hype.

No, not necessarily. It's the ratio and for most basic research the numerator of the fraction is also approaching zero.

Good verdict. I agree.

Ladybird will have to deliver eventually - on this part I think many people agree with.
