I don’t think the reason people liked the full switch to NT is because of GUI “enforcement”, but rather that x86 DOSs had some historical limitations, both because of the OS and because of peculiarities regarding the IBM PC platform (like “conventional”, “extended” and “high” memory, or many DOS programs expecting real mode operation) which NT and its HAL abstracted away, making it more stable, though not as stable as any base *nix system.

In the server space, both FreeBSD and Linux systems are well-regarded. Linux caught up since that post and receives more support now, obviously, but I wouldn’t flinch when encountering FreeBSD (or other *BSDs for that matter) as a server.
As for Windows… yeah, just look at the news regarding that…
