That's pretty old news though: 2008 for ZFS, and 2012 for NFSv4.
I stopped using FreeBSD in 2013/2014a as pkgng was a completely broken mess of bugs and developers seemed uninterested in fixing things, but if I look to what's changed since then[1], then it all seem rather ... lacklustre. Sure, things have improved, but there's no "ohh, that's cool!" like ZFS, jails, etc. Certainly nothing that makes it markedly different from Linux.
Compare this to OpenBSD pr Linux, both of which have had a number of innovative concepts since then.

- trasz 7y agoFreeBSD sucks at marketing, that’s very true.
- JdeBP 7y agoIn my experience, that time was a particular low point for pkgng. It still breaks, of course. I've just been told that FreeBSD 12 has some bizarre manifest parsing bug that completely contradicts the doco. But it did get markedly better for a while in 10 and 11.
