I find it difficult to believe that they `learned from BSD's
mistakes' given that they do so many things in a way that's so
obviously inferior to the BSD stack. I think there are a lot of
improvements that could be made to the BSD stack, but there's no
question that, as it stands, the BSD stack is far more modular and
better written.
