I switched my build server (I code on my macbook and build on a machine in my basement) to FreeBSD. Just for fun though, I didn't have any pressing need to switch off of Linux. In fact, there isn't really much of a difference. The terminal commands seem more "Unixy" and "oldschool" and also more sensical/sensible.
I tried to run it on a laptop, but driver support lags behind Linux (which already lags Windows). Driver quality (which affects things like wifi connection stability) is also worse (anecdotally).
The major selling point of BSD seems to be servers. There are tons of interlocking security features like jails and capabilities built into the kernel.
