I'm posting this as someone who runs and enjoys both FreeBSD/OpenBSD: there are good reasons for running *BSD these days, but the ones you listed have lost a lot of their value. Regarding the Illumos/FreeBSD "trifecta" of zones/jails, ZFS, and DTrace - I prefer LXC, I treat laptops/workstations like cattle and only run FreeBSD+ZFS where its needed, and I don't need DTrace. Brendan Gregg can elaborate on these topics much better than I can, and his words probably carry more weight, given his involvement with Illumos: http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-09-05/solaris-to-linux-2017.html http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-09-05/solaris-to-linux...
