Have you ever used it in any of these roles you speak of? What was your experience?

OpenBSD does well for the areas it focuses on. It's easy to admire a project that has a narrow focus. The accolades always appear to come from those with the least amount of experience with it however. "I use it for a high performance firewall for my mom" "It's great as a desktop on my old laptop, that I do nothing with." It's like hearing someone praise Steve Jobs for inventing Photoshop, merely because they use it on a Mac. Fire up a high performance database on OpenBSD that uses a production equivalent of modern data. Setup a fileserver on nfsv3, use sshfs, or run the latest Linux version of <insert anything here>. Then talk about your experiences. "We are secure because we don't support firewire/bluetooth" is an invalid argument.

Is it better than #lisp? Spending just half an hour in #lisp, and you see more assholes than a Turkish Customs Agent.
