That's a fair enough comment really.
To the average PC user, yes it is going to be the only one to compete with
Ubuntu - unsuccessfully.

To the higher life forms - e.g. uber g33ks like us, no. Although when I
tried it out, I did quite enjoy the experience of PCBSD.

The keywords there is 'desktop distributions'.
FreeBSD is more of a What-ever-you-want distro, and requires prior knowledge
of what and where things are to get FreeBSD into a workable desktop
environment, whereas PCBSD is more plug'n play and dare I say it 'just
works'.
