I've been running openBSD since 3.3 too. You seem to have noticed thing I never stopped to look at, like the csh tcsh pdksh etc...
I must admit that the upgrade are quite annoying. The 'solution' I found for this is to keep the older version until it's not supported, and then just do a clean install. This way you only need to upgrade once a year.
Now where I absolutely do not agree is here:
"There is no automatic update agent. Patching in general is cryptic, the process isn't uniform, and the documentation in this area is not very good."
Ok there is no automatic agent, but you just open the patch file, and the first few lines give you the EXACT commands you have to type it to patch your system, and it's rarely over 5-6 lines. Now I know it's not point-and-click, but come on, it's not THAT hard...
P.S. I'll have to agree on the OS X comment tho :)
