I always want to love FreeBSD, it's the first Unix system I used with any regularity many years ago. Every few years I get some inspiration to load it up and play. Without fail every time I have tried I've run into some problem with hardware support. From it just refusing to boot on an Opteron server to networking just not working on a mini PC. Ubuntu on those same machines had zero problems. So it doesn't matter what FreeBSD can offer if I can't run it on the hardware I have available. If I'm stuck running it in a VM why would I bother with it?
