For me, the CLI is killer.

I'm not sure CLI could be considered a killer for GNU/Linux systems,
since the *BSD systems have no more or less powerful CLI.

Well, sure. If FreeBSD had been easy to install in year 2000, had a
large community, and apps like Netscape (or was Mozilla released by
then?) then I maybe would have tried FreeBSD.

I would thinkg a killer app for a system would be unique for that
system. I can't really think of an app that would be unique to GNU/Linux
(that wouldn't also work on other unix systems). Maybe something like
FUSE?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
