I'd say VMS is the best I've worked with as the base security is pretty
tight. It also has the less than common attribute.
As a system it falls into my criteria:
Stable mature systems I know how to use.
As after six years is Linux for me. (The MICROS~1 drones can claim
that Linux is an upstart, but it's really been in public use longer

source code -- I wonder how long NT sources could be examined with
a straight face?).
