Linux seems to suffer from the "NIH" syndrome. Ie, if its not
invented or implemented here, we don't like it.
Search the linux-kernel list archives for the discussions
about /dev/poll and kqueue, and see what people have to say.
Whether its the "best" or not really isn't relevant - its
a step in the right direction. A very big step. :)
