To me, NetBSD is somehow the "bearer" of the BSD flag... and thus the 
most Unix thing I can find around.
For me it is small and efficient. I have it running on Sparc, PPC, x86...
Today it doesn't feel as fast as it used to be in 1996, but I think it 
is more due to the userland than the kernel itself.

I have it running on a HP Laptop and it does it job very well.

I run and develop GNUstep on it and take care that most/all application 
run on it!

Sure, I'd love to have it shine a bit more on some daily workstation / 
laptop uses.

The thing that troubles me most?

-> drivers, especially on the wireless side... but also I have torubles 
with ethernet sometimes on some devices. The same is sadly true with 
videocards
->  linux emulation. Sadly sometimes I need skype and flash
-> wine doesn't work for me :(

but generally the OS does quite well, is easy to install... and doesn't 
get in your way!!!
