FreeBSD (and OpenBSD) are very refreshing systems. It is what Linux was once upon a time, what SunOS was way back when, if you were around and feel what that means. Cohesively put together but beautifully simple. Wherever security or reliability or maintainability matters, nothing beats simple & elegant.
I've been a Linux full time user since nearly the beginning (started in '92) and been slowly migrating to BSDs for server use. Unfortunately the baroque complexity of systemd is making Linux distros more into OSX-like opaqueness. And nothing wrong with OSX, I have a Mac too and like it for what it is. But I'd never run servers on OSX, and Linux is starting to become something I'd rather not run servers on. FreeBSD is a breath of fresh air.
