There are some features which are so far exclusive to FreeBSD but go under the radar of the wider community of developers. In addition to CloudABI, Capsicum is another one, which, while not perfect, seems largely ignored/unused/reinvented outside FreeBSD. The LLVM-based base system is another one, which is partially matched by Bitrig. FreeBSD needs to market their features better, like pledge(2), libressl or systemd or docker are doing it.
