It's much less security-hole-ridden than the godforsaken piece-of-crap
copy of wuftpd that ships with many Linux distros (in particular, earlier
versions of red hat; I *think* 7 ships with pro, but not sure)

I've found it to work just fine and it has tons of features and is
easily configurable.

Can't speak for OpenBSD ftpd, as I've never used it.
