I switched one of my important boxes to FreeBSD a couple of weeks ago after chatting with an HN poster here. Foray into new lands for me. So far a very much simpler and pleasant experience from some of the more "fuller" (bloated) Linux distros of late. I may become a convert.

One of the nice surprises was spinning up a couple of VMs using bhyve instead of qemu or vbox. Worked first time.

Only one gripe - apparently really crap ext3/4 filesystem support. I still haven't managed to mount some important disks despite playing around with fusefs and all that. I'll crack it with time though.
