Being lightweight is valuable in my opinion, it's also a really nice architecture without all the baggage that Linux has. I find it really appealing to have lean software that's optimized for a particular use case. It's also POSIX compliant so a lot Linux skills are transferable, and software from Linux is fairly easy to port over. The fact that Firefox got ported shows that it's doable even with complex GUI apps.
