In my opinion, the BSD userland is much nicer than GNU: the documentation is better, no long name arguments, and simpler. Browsing the source is also good fun, the implementations are straightforward and look like how I imagine K&R would write code. This is in contrast to the GNU userland, which is just so crazy. It's evident that the GNU people don't really like C and refuse to accept the language's simplicity, instead struggling all the way. Maybe I'm weird, but I like using systems in which I can feel good about the code, even if I never contribute a patch. And though I use Arch Linux instead of OpenBSD nowadays, I don't feel good about really anything to do with Linux. The ecosystem is gross and has turned into Frankenstein's monster.
