BSD is so dead

No evidence.

Linux might won on quantity, but its quality is not comparable to BSDs.

A typical example is OpenBSD, to quote Michael W. Lucas:

Many open source operating system put a lot of effort into growing their user base, evangelizing, and bringing new people into the Unix fold. OpenBSD does not.

The communities surrounding other operating systems actively encourage new users and try to make newbies feel welcome. OpenBSD specifically and deliberately does not.

The developers know exactly who their target market is: themselves. If you can use their work, that's great. If not, go away until you can.

They will not hold your hand. They will not develop new features to please users. OpenBSD exist to meet the needs of the developers, and while others are welcome to ride along, the needs of the passengers do not steer the project.

This is a very stupid fight.

Look at the BSDs, OpenBSD users can laugh on FreeBSD for having to support wine, running ia32 binaries on amd64, broken at securelevel 1, having so many extension for ls(1). FreeBSD can laugh on OpenBSD for using giant lock (doesn't take advantage of multiprocessor machine), ...
