Can't speak for NetBSD, but OpenBSD hates it more than FreeBSD does. Or at least there are many people in the OpenBSD community that would yell loudly at a program using gets, more so than in the already vocal FreeBSD community :-). gets is evil and should never have been in the POSIX standard due to the extreme difficulty it takes to use it correctly. fgets is more general and safer to use in all cases, and isn't that much more of a hassle to use.
