I don't know when you last looked at FreeBSD/PC-BSD but there's been improvement in graphics performance, and driver coverage in general, though admittedly not as much as Linux, Windows, etc. Also PC-BSD is working on a BSD-specific desktop called Lumina. It's at an early stage of development so not yet clear how well it will compete with established DEs. It will be interesting to see how far Linux goes with Wayland, said to be a replacement for X. If X becomes deprecated on Linux, probably BSDs won't travel that path and stick with X, which means X development will be more or less up to the BSD projects. Just my speculation about these things. What I'm waiting for most is completion of FreeBSD UEFI support, including Secure Boot. Once that's available it should make dual-booting FreeBSD+Windows much easier--a great option to have.
