I used it for a few years, starting with NetBSD 4, and was pretty happy about it. Now I don't use because: - My wifi is not supported, after my hardware changed. (NetBSD has been historically weak with atheros.) - There are nagging issues with laptop touchpad making it impossible to even type smoothly. This may not be a problem for a desktop though. - This is a problem for some, wasn't for me: No chromium browser. I could make do with firefox. I still use firefox though I use Linux now. - This may or may not matter: I use user space file system encryption with incremental backup using cryfs which is not available on NetBSD. (There is a thread on this on this list.) There are alternatives on NetBSD, but they do not meet my requirement as aptly as cryfs does. Mayuresh.
