Primitive in what way? amd (which is not strictly a freebsd product btw)
does more things than autofs is capable of.
I regularly use both, and there are features of both that I like and
dislike. However I can't help thinking that your argument here boils down
to, "I want what I like and am used to, don't bother me with new things."
