OpenBSD is actually a good example of a system that envisions a holistic experience. Sure its experience is that of one for a techie nerd, but it's still very experience oriented. This is a pretty big contrast from suckless which creates small tools that only kinda work together and claim the code as documentation. OpenBSD docs are wonderful.

(Though in my experience modern Linux kernels have much better networking throughput than BSD kernels. It confounds the overall performance argument of this thread chain, but the overall OpenBSD experience leads to on average a more speedy experience.)
