Maybe real Unix systems mentioned before its parody? ;-)

Yeah, quite hard to get third party apps to them, but those systems
are simply running with superb performance and needs much more lower
maintenance than Linux. So it depends. It can be fine to be able to
patch every day some new security/bug issue or to install every
possible app developed, but that's something mostly not wanted in
setups where are these systems used. OpenBSD is much more closer to
them in this regard I think which is big plus.
