I've used OpenBSD as my desktop OS for the last 10 years or so. I agree it's probably not the ideal desktop OS for everyone, but I think your dismissal may be a bit too strong.

You do need to be sure your desktop machine is well-suited for OpenBSD. This means supported Intel or AMD graphics (Nvidia won't work well if at all, and not all AMD will either) and network/wifi card.

Do you do a lot of customization, or use a special desktop environment, or do you stick with the base stuff?

I use awesome for a window manager. Other than that and a few color/font tweaks, it's pretty much stock.

Most of what I do happens in a browser, terminal, or emacs.
