This is why major companies use Windows instead of FreeBSD. FreeBSD
is only known by less than 1% of the CS community, let alone the entire
workers population.

Or why is BSD make used when the vast majority of Free Software developpers
use GNU make?

Yes, this is a troll. No, it doesn't need a followup. I just don't buy
the 1% argument, it reminds me too much of what people say about the systems
I use.
