Linux is a free software kernel, and it's good too.
The goal is not to develop their own copy of everything. The goal is to make sure a free software operating system exists.
For that goal, finishing the HURD is not necessary, so it's not a priority. The HURD might be nice, it might have some technical advantages if it is ever finished, but there are more important things to work on right now such as drivers, java, flash, etc.
