Different use cases, different tools. What works for your environment
might not be suited to others'.

As a developer, I never seen decisions made in the development process
with the rationale: "OpenBSD is only suited/designed for acting as a
firewal/router/server". I use OpenBSD daily on two workstations: a
dual headed tower system and a laptop (which suspends and resumes fine
btw).

A significant amount of work goes into making an OpenBSD desktop work:
X is part of the base system, and tonnes of packages are only suited
for desktop work. 

OpenBSD is a general purpose unix-like/posix system. Use it for
whatever suits you.
