While much of this document is openly disdainful, there are areas like the malloc implementation[1] and features like the atexit hardening[2] where OpenBSD is unambiguously excellent, and it says as much, noting that the latter is a "pretty cool mitigation".
I used to do some OpenBSD ports work, and even got a tiny patch into the base system. I love OpenBSD! I don't have an axe to grind here! But it is not above reproach, and I think this site is overall harsh but fair.
