You said,

"What more could you ask for? Personally, I can't think of much else. However, I'm far from the majority. When compared with Linux-based operating systems, those systems based on BSD are easily the far less popular of the two."

I don't think you've acclimated to Mac OS X being a BSD Unix system and it being the most widely shipped *nix in the world.
