That's the first I've heard of pfsense having a bad reputation, can you explain? (I haven't used it, genuinely want to know)

wild read.

sounds like the core of the issue was that Netgate hired a weirdo, and then botched how they handled it when the weirdo got -- go figure -- weird.

and it showed how FreeBSD does commits badly and may not have any (or few) code reviews

honestly makes me feel bad about using netgate boxes -- what else needs to be fixed?

And WIPO had to take the domain away from them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PfSense#OPNsense
