Since FreeBSD is very popular as a webserver OS, I wonder if your logic means 
it's not as good as, say, running a website on Amiga. Don't get me wrong, as 
I think Amiga's cool ... Would you not want to run a website on FreeBSD, 
since so many sites do? I guess this also means Apache is garbage, since it's 
so popular.

What are you going to do if FreeBSD becomes even more popular? Quit using it?

Here's something you might want to check out: 
http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/ - and I also think this is cool, as my 
first computer was an Apple IIe, but is it what you need? It's far less 
popular than FreeBSD, so maybe that means it's better.

I'm not trying to be obnoxious, but I don't really see your logic.
