I build from source so I can have something to complain about ;}

Actually I am a recovering Linux user that has moved to FreeBSD.

The AbsoluteFreeBSD book is great even if it is a little dated. Learned 
much from it.
Poudriere is great,  when I get my raspberry-pi2 on FreeBSD it will 
become my package repo as well as my name server and email server.
Just have to learn how to run STABLE/CURRENT.
It would be nice if the base system was also in pkg, but you can't have 
everything.
