I did love the referral to Linux as an "obvious cesspool". :-)

FreeBSD (as well as the other BSDs) and Illumos have the advantage 
that their foundation is a complete bootable operating system, most of 
which has been well integrated for many tens of years (even before 
Linux was born).  This is not true for Linux, which is an operating 
system kernel.  Only by adding a lot of other software (or something 
like an integration with Busybox) does one get a system which boots 
and allows a user to log in.  There is a substantial disagreement 
regarding about the "other software" to use to turn Linux into an 
operating system.

The world of the Linux kernel is organized chaos.  There are many code 
submissions but just a few people are calling the shots.  There are a 
rather similar number of decision-makers at the top of the Linux 
kernel feeding chain as there are for FreeBSD and Illumos but 
contributors to Linux are far less powerful (except unless they are a 
huge company like Samsung rather than an actual person).

It is really necessary to look at each use case to see where "Linux 
rocks" or some other solution is better.
