The only thing that's preventing me from switching my desktop (laptop) OS over to BSD is chipset support. I tried 11.0 ALPHA, but couldn't get anything other than VESA video going.
My setup scripts are all in Git:

I've used a few different OSs on a daily basis for work and recreation: Windows (since 3.0), Linux (various distros since 1995), OSX (for a few years between 2009 and 2013), and FreeBSD.
I have found BSD to be the most comprehensible, simplest and the best 'cultural fit' for the way I think and work. I appreciate that the latter part is a bit vague, but that's because my understanding of it is vague :) BSD just feels ... more like home.
Those wanting to give it a go as a desktop OS should check out PC-BSD, which is built to be usable 'out of the box' for that purpose:
