I am also new to OpenBSD but had intended build a server with it per the advice in the top comment on this HN post from Zed Shaw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7036661 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7036661 My understanding is it has a reputation for being very secure, having thoroughly audited source code, and runs on lots of old and legacy hardware. It's also renown for having super thorough documentation. (see Zed's comment) Judging by comments on this post, I think it is more a case of the maintainers and/or the foundation's management instead of loyalty or adoption of the OS. I believe HN also runs on OpenBSD too, if I'm not mistaken.
