WRONG

NetBSD may be old, and lack features that a desktop user would want, but it is stable and has very clean and portable code. It's the closest you get these days to an old-style UNIX OS.
Linux on the other hand was done with great skill such that it runs and is useful on many platforms, and it's code is still clean, simple and elegant.
Myth: NetBSD's code is clean, portable and simply
Fact: NetBSD is a useless, unholy mess
