Well, actually, it started out more like NextStep, using a Mach kernel.
FreeBSD kernel bits got added, and originally the userspace was mostly
NetBSD (but that apparently changed, especially after they hired a
FreeBSD advocate).
Anyway. Keep in mind that theirs is a different target market. Most of
their users don't care what's under the hood, and don't want to ever run
Terminal.app. We may talk about BSD, System V, Mach, etc, but most users
out there really don't care.
