Sure thing, but I wonder if this will actually be used by anyone but the guy who ported it?

Part of the point of ReactOS is that it can use the existing Windows drivers for existing hardware, so every driver that doesn't work is because of a bug that needs to be fixed. Even if no one uses a particular piece of hardware, the same bug might have stopped another driver for another piece of hardware working.

A lot of early developed stuff are barely used by anyone.

At certain point, it will be suitable for larger group of people.
