Several of my employers have used it for mission critical work such as application cluster servers, firewalls, load balancers, mail servers and front-end web servers.

OpenBSD delivered that, and more. I bounced around to other BSDs and Linux distros on my laptops and desktops between 2000 and 2010, but I came home to OpenBSD in 2010 and haven't looked back.

My day job has my team using Windows, Amazon Linux, RHEL and OS X. I come home and I sigh in relief at the simplicity, excellent documentation, and stability of the software that this community has built.
