Why the BSDs get no love

"Over the weekend - I installed OpenBSD. And then I installed
FreeBSD. And then I quickly realized why the BSDs are getting no
love. For some odd reason the BSDs refuse to join the rest of the
modern world. Instead they have decided they (the BSD communities)
are going to rebel and remain in the 90s with the text-based
installation and their cryptic install instructions. But then the
BSD communities complains that they get no love…no
press…no user-base. Oh sure the silver back geeks and the
server farms will run one or more flavor of BSD (it IS insanely
stable and secure). More than likely, those are the users that have
been running BSD since their days in their high-school computer
club."
