I used freebsd for everything years ago, but one day I had to have
nsswitch and pam (which wasn't supported in freebsd at the time) so I
switched to linux. Freebsd has since added these things but I have
linux working very well. Every now and then I get curious and build a
freebsd box in the lab, but have never found it to outperform linux so
there really isn't any reason to switch back.

Most of the reasons why freebsd people dislike linux is because of the
bloat, but that is easily fixed by running a thinner linux with BSD
style init such as slackware. :)
