I think that has long been a FreeBSD weakness. While the Linux crowd have
gained a certain momentum as far as publicity etc. goes - FreeBSD, "just
works".
It's public image is kind of akin to it's actual spec. You install it, it
runs, it does the work - it doesn't complain.
Personally (and from a company point of view) we're happy with FreeBSD,
where it is - how it got there, and where it's going...
Amongst most people I know who use FreeBSD - they actually consider the
lack of 'noise & shouting' and clutter as a bonus and value the slow - but
stable approach to releases. Again these are probably things that don't do
it's image to the non-user a lot of good, for all the wrong reasons :)
