Linux was very sucessful because it filled a hole at the right time, there was no decent free/GPL UNIX kernal when it was being written so people jumped to help the project because linux was needed by the hacker community. So now there is no hole for a free UNIX monolithic kernal so when hurd is finished and released it wont be as popular.
The next big thing in kernals (which hopefully linux will be a part of) is micro-kernals, when monolithic kernals are to unwieldy in the future because they have to contain so many features, there will be a hole for a free UNIX micro-kernal.
