Ran it for a long time, mostly I liked the simplicity of it over linux, which with systemd + udev etc has become much harder to configure easily just by reading through the files in /etc. The way you configure FreeBSD has been basically the same since 1998, so I haven't had to learn new magic with whatever trend is taking over the linux world. On modern linux, without a browser open to google shit constantly it's a real challenge to make even little quality of life changes. And Linux binary compat on FreeBSD was (maybe still is?) very good. Lately I'm on linux though since I need docker for my job workflow.
