That's actually a very good comparison to the best Linux distros... the 
only tricks that PC-BSD missed are moving the configuration files into 
some unfindable place and re-generating them from a different file that 
the GUI generates in yet a a third place on every boot.  Once the 
ability to tweak it if you know what you want and how to use the 
software is removed and then it will be the equal of the best of Linux 
distros.
