Pretty common attitude in the *BSD community, and the author says they spent some time using FreeBSD in the past. Often the objection is the license, however, I think there is also a perception that the GNU stuff can be bloated, tries to be all things to all people, where something like BSD feels more direct, less over-engineered.
