I agree. I've had years of Linux experience and decided my home network + router was quite poor and I'd set up my own home network router and use OpenBSD to do it as an excuse to look at a BSD and fix my network issues. OpenBSD has been an absolute pleasure to work with. The man pages are well written and complete, the filesystem is well organized, having no issues that people have with Systemd the simplicity of OpenBSD's init system showed you don't need complex init systems. Then you have PF which is far easier to deal with than IP tables. It took me a few hours of playing to set OpenBSD up with multiple vlan's, dhcp server, firewall, cross vlan routing, mdns etc. The hardest part was figuring out the correct parameters for my ISP broadband connection as the ISP didn't publish some of the information so needed to sniff the network traffic to find that i needed to set a vlan for my isp. The simplicity of OpenBSD makes it very easy to learn networking and if you are familiar with Linux you will become familiar with BSD very quickly as BSD's are less fragmented than Linux by their nature.
