I don't think the grandparent poster was talking from a purist perspective though (I certainly wasn't). I think s/he was more interested why so few people consider FreeBSD. It might be the case that everyone runs into a deal breaker like yourselves but I think sometimes people don't consider FreeBSD simply because it isn't Linux. However I do completely agree with your points as well. I feel your pain with NewRelic as I've also ran into a few brick walls with them. In fact on Linux as well (not tried NewRelic agents on FreeBSD).
