I'm a big fan of NetBSD. Great docs, clean design, it's just about ideal for "set it and forget it" projects. I hadn't used a BSD in over a decade but got it up and running in no time for an odd project a few years back that had some unusual display requirements. I imagine it would have taken a lot longer to do with Linux because it's always changing how it does things and I just don't have the time or inclination to keep up with it anymore and the docs are often less than ideal.

Bonus points for their build system. It's about the only time I've ever felt like building from source was a pleasant experience.

Sounds like at this point NetBSD is for educational purposes and maybe for someone who wants a starting point OS for an embedded device.

It doesn't have the community like FreeBSD nor innovations like OpenBSD.

I'm going to say that the rump kernel is an innovation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rump_kernel

But admittedly it doesn't seem to have quite the following of those two other BSDs.
