At least for me, being able to use Linux as daily driver on my desktop was instrumental at making me more proficient. At that point using it in the server became natural. Nothing beats the exercise of being able to use the same environment for everyday computing and for running "serious" services.
I guess a good desktop experience has the same utility to the freebsd ecosystem.
