Living in "both worlds" is a good thing: keeping an open mind about operating systems and software is one of the best choices one can make. BSD falls short in some areas where Linux excels, and Linux falls short in some areas where BSD excels. It's about using whatever tool works to get things done. If that's BSD, great. If that's Linux, great. If that's Windows, great. But the worst thing one can do is remain close-minded about operating systems; one-sided advocacy (pro-BSD or pro-Linux) does nothing but hurt the open-source concept.
