It's not a completely accurate answer, but "attitude" is certainly
sufficient in my book. I find your comment very appropriate. 

In fact, a careful observer might find this as a primary reason people
are still using this system despite these apparent shortcomings of SMP,
64-bit, etc. In my experience, technical issues are much easier to fix
than collective attitudes. I think all DragonFly really needs is more
good developers, and this appears to be happening at the correct speed
to preserve the fresh attitude this community currently has. 

As to the original posting, technical comparison is normally a good 
thing. However:

Exactly what pressure are you referring to here? :)
