FreeBSD: lots of great things which are poorly tied together; using it on the desktop or on servers is annoying because of the small things

FreeBSD pt2: jails are nowhere near as good as Linux containers because of tooling & implementation; hardware support could be better

FreeBSD pt3: updates to a version (e.g. 10.3) ship only as a new version; patches between releases are security patches only, no bug fixes

FreeBSD pt5: some parts of the kernel scale better than Linux, but lack modern features (e.g. wifi, TCP and ethernet stacks) found on Linux

Illumos/SmartOS: almost great, but lacks modern improvements to kernel components; Linux compat in zones isn't great due to missing features

SmartOS: provides a lot of tooling on top of the OpenSolaris/Illumos tooling, but it feels like it lacks that 1-2% needed to make it great

Linux: lots of modern features, but code quality & bugs need more attention; multiple LTS kernel versions fragment testers, users & devs

Linux pt2: The Linux foundation doesn't seem to attack the issues plaguing Linux with the full force its available resources would allow it.
