I don't know if I'd go as far as your last sentence.  I made the
transition from Windows to FreeBSD a year ago (after nearly 20 years of
using and admin'ing Windows).  Yes, there is a steep learning curve
because things in FreeBSD are different than Windows.  But after a few
weeks, the concepts started falling into place, and the underlying
logic and architecture became evident.  From that point on, it was more
like filling in the gaps than facing a steep learning curve.

Looking back at the past year, I can say that the architecture and
design of FreeBSD make more sense to me than Windows ever did.

YMMV
