Chiming in on a random post.
FreeBSD is whatever its users and developers make it to be.
FreeBSD is positioned as a general purpose OS and different people use it in very
different ways.  From embedded through servers to desktops.  Yes, really.

You can share your experience about FreeBSD as a desktop, I can share mine (which
is quite different from yours), those would be interesting (and perhaps useful)
anecdotes.
But, please, let's refrain from labeling FreeBSD and cornering it into some niche.
