Agreed. Software that does what it's supposed to is better than software that is simple (or fast), but buggy.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoWhich is why everyone uses OpenBSD instead of making a tradeoff with a different OS that isn't designed as securely.
- AstralStorm 8y agoUsers go for usability features first, with an OS that is good enough. Good looks second. They can tolerate a few weirdness and quirks as long as they can get the job done without cursing the thing. They will even tolerate non critical crashes sometimes (no or little data loss). OpenBSD is not bug free at all, it is just security oriented in the implementation. Windows got traction because it has even better hardware support, a bunch of backroom OEM deals and nice UI features (at the time of 95), then went far on software availability.
