About the same.
It wouldn't detect my SATA HDDs on a GA-945GCM-S2C board (no issues with that on Windows/OSX-Hackintosh/Debian/FreeBSD), had to use USB-HDD to install. Only option for my nVidia graphics was the nv driver, which is actually many times slower than the vesa driver somehow. And vesa lacked any widescreen modes, so video was practically unusable for me. Other than that, everything worked out of the box. LAN (Realtek), audio (HDA), etc.
Only thing I didn't like on the software side (but many people would prefer) was that it's really bleeding edge. I much prefer Xfce, but still rely on some Gnome apps. OpenBSD is much further along with Gnome 3, so a lot of apps like gedit, gnome-system-monitor, gcalctool, evince etc start to stand out like a sore thumb. That'll come to FreeBSD too, but at least I have a bit more time to find alternatives.
