I do not.
Forget to LOVE as well as to HATE - at least in this context.
All these terms advertise FreeBSD as sandpit and its developers
and supporters as lovely, playing children.
Linux, much better described by that terms, has past that stage.
For that reason it has got a market which must be aimed at.
To be adult means not to be only fascinated by fire but to be
able to manage it.
