Because I want something from the source -- from the main team -- and  
not something downstream.

I too spend the time.  I am thinking that for other people to want to  
use FreeBSD they want something other than a command prompt.  They at  
least want a web browser out of the box.

The Ubuntu install is very compelling.  I am just wishing that FreeBSD  
was AS compelling in its first install experience.  At present it is  
far, far behind.

That does not stop ME from preferring FreeBSD, but it stops many other  
people.
