I'm just lurking, since I'm a Linux user interested in alternatives to
Linux. The command line is important for every Linux distro, just a few
distros have a tendency to do some steps into the wrong direction [1],
but if you want to do the PC what you want it to do, you can and should
use the command line what ever Linux distro you're using.

AFAIK Ctrl + Alt + Fx does work with even the oddest DE, at least with
all sane WMs on Linux, but I can't see something bad when using a sane
GUI terminal emulation such as roxterm. Btw. I prefer Arch Linux, it has
got similarities to FreeBSD.

Perhaps "KISS principle" could replace "the more professional ones".

[1] There's just one exception that is really annoying, but it's
possible to get used to it, systemd. Sure, crap as dconf is idiotic, but
I suspect FreeBSD suffers from such odd designs too.
