Yes, quantity has a quality all its own...
...but whose eyes are looking is important.
Many, MANY people are looking at Linux code. But what are they looking *for*? Linus says that security bugs are just another kind of bug. Theo thinks they are the most important kind. Does anybody think that Linux developers are looking as hard for security bugs as OpenBSD developers do? Or as likely to drop what they were doing to fix *security* bugs when found? Supporting that new nVidia adapter is important, too.
I use Linux when I'm paid to. But when that goes away for me, I will bid Linux adieu.
