If the APIs of CLI utils is the primary concern, it's worth noting that they say their core userland is provided by "FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD" - so any friction here should in theory just be equivalent to the friction of using a BSD today (or Mac).

it's solely FreeBSD as an upstream for us, though Net/Open are an upstream for FreeBSD itself for some tools

the tools have made big strides over the last few decades, so it's nowhere near like it used to be back then

Good to know. My quote above was taken from the website copy verbatim.

Really cool looking project - looking forward to trying it out.

Thank you for your work and let me say how impressed I am with how fast you moved to release 14 of the BSD userland.
