Perhaps. But on the other hand, there are much more important problems facing 
FreeBSD than a bad, or poorly thought out UI, such as lingering VM and FS bugs.
What is the point in having a UI that even a dummy could use without having to 
ask questions when the system crashes all the time? I'd take a stable, but not 
POLA-proof system over an unstable, but idiot-proof one anyday.
