You know, I used OpenBSD extensively, for more than a decade.
I cannot recall ever paying attention to their marketing ploys.
A secure operating system, by design, was sufficient for me.
(although, I readily acknowledge, not everyone considers it to be
'secure').
btw, back in the 90s', when I was learning C++, my friend and I
walked into the software store one day (yeah, no online back
then), and the product we both decided on, was the product with
the biggest box (i.e. the most books).
At that particular time, it was Borland C++ that had the biggest
box, with the most books. So we settled on that.
Of course I never read them all.
If we were in the 90's still, I'd say that maybe D needs a bigger
box.
But other than a bigger box, I'm not so sure... perhaps a product
that delivered on what it claims it is, would probably do just
fine ;-)
