Many people are leaving Linux because of systemd (among other issues); but are choosing FreeBSD because of ZFS, pf, geli, jails, dtrace, bhyve, etc. (I haven't used the latter two myself yet, but the rest are fantastic.)
In the end I've gained more than I lost, it's just that a catalyst was needed to get past the inertia of changing operating systems again.
