Linux vs. BSD

Honest question (I know it's 4chan and /prog/ and all, but still, I figured I would try):  Why BSD and not Linux?  And no, I'd rather not ask the Windows zealots over at /g/.

I've just happened to notice some hate for Linux (or ``GNU/Linux'' if your name is rms) around here, so I assume some flavor of BSD is what a number of said individuals are running.  But why?  Why is Linux so bad?  And I'd like to honestly know why, not just something like ``LOL VIRAL GPL IS VIRAL,'' but from a technical standpoint, is it that bad of a system compared to *BSD?  I admit I'm no ENTERPRISE developer, but I've always been able to find programs and tools to suit whatever I want to do on my Linux system, and it seems solid enough.

Let's see...
- mplayer has libass, which is faster than vsfilter
- mplayer is built on ffdshow, so you can use every single filter you could use on Windows as well
- CoreAVC is actually one single patch applied to mplayer and works just fine

You obviously don't know anything about mplayer, so better stop posting, or even better, go back to /g/.
