Couple things going on here. First, BSD folks don't diss Linux, they just state the ways they believe their BSD is better. Linux folks get their identities really wrapped up in the OS they use for some reason, so that might result in hurt feelings, but most BSD users are also Linux users. Second, most BSDs (Esepecially OpenBSD) are not really interested in "getting more users." Theo is probably the biggest example of this, he would still work on OpenBSD if he was the only person using it, because he is making the OS he wants to exist.[*] Unlike Linux, Windows, and MacOS, BSDs aren't made to take over the world, they're made to be good operating systems. * Edit to add: That's not to say he's not a self-righteous asshole, but that's a different discussion.
