OpenBSD is built by the developers for the developers. The fact that you
and I get to use it is a nice side effect of the developers releasing
the OS as free software. Instead of whining, you should be greatfull.

I enjoy the fact that I can install an OpenBSD machine, setup the
relevant services for that machines purpose and not have to sit and push
buttons and turn knobs all day. The machine does its job without the
need for me to hold its hand.
