Yes.

This belief is well-founded.  Linux frankly isn't engineered very well, primarily due
to the fact that kernel development and userland development are decoupled.

Good design and implementation == stablility.  Major linux kernel subsystems keep
being rewritten from scratch (in the stable series!), which is indicative of poor
design ...

... I no longer believe that linux is the best-of-breed UNIX.
