I don't know his exact problems either, but I could name you a few
examples that currently reduce the fun of using FreeBSD:
- The sound sytem is broken in FreeBSD in all 5.x and 6 versions, and I
would like to listen to a few mp3-files from time to time.
- To my surprise it's almost impossible to use the parallel port with
interrupts ("interrupt storms"), polling mode works...
- wlan is broken, my Thinkpad keeps losing WPA-PSK connection very often
(probably kern/88793).
- Keeping the system and the ports up to date gets more and more time
consuming and risky (especially when compared to an "apt-get update &&
apt-get upgrade"). For example, the last devel/pear update in the
ports crashed my PHP installations on 2 development machines (still no
clue how to fix this).
Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't want to complain, I just wanted to
give you some examples.
