I got started with OpenBSD and loved the old pf package - so much simpler than chains and tables. Have since been using a mix of redhat/centros/ubuntu as servers. It's been a while since I looked at a BSD, so the whole jails vs docker debate was news to me. I know where I stand on it though: no docker is a non-starter. Not trying to throw shade at freeBSD, or pick a fight - but that the article barely mentions containerisation, and doesn't even mention docker, is ... surprising.

Other users can correct me, but most of us are cool with chroots or VMs where Docker/containerization would normally be required. OpenBSD also now has pledge(2) and unveil(2), which isn't a jail in the traditional sense, but it can effectively serve as one in some usecases.
