I use it as my primary laptop at home. And I have a laptop at work I use to test things on it.
I really like the lite-weight http server that comes with it. I've used it to complete a few internal only web sites for automating tasks around the office (importing data from other systems into our accounting system, firing off email confirmations to customers, etc.)
I have had very few issues with it and when I did it was generally me assuming I knew what I was doing because of my Linux experience. Once I learned to read the manual and look for subtle differences between BSD and GNU I found I was able to pick it all up pretty quick. Their manual pages are actually one of the best perks!
