Tell us in the comments: what makes FreeBSD your platform of choice?

Easy! Even made a tribute site to show my affection: https://free.bsd.ad/
To every sysadmin who chose FreeBSD.
To every late-night make buildworld. Every custom kernel. Every jail that ran for years without a hiccup. Every zfs snapshot that saved the day.
To the mailing list veterans. The ports maintainers. The doc writers. The release engineers who shipped on time, every time.
You didn't follow the crowd. You followed the code. And the code was good.
The Power to Serve. Since 1993. Forever.
