No doubt, so do I. FreeBSD is good for very specific things like rock solid stability and intense networking. But for general purpose use I too prefer Linux, because it gets all the new toys first.
If I want to build a rock solid stable internet service, I reach for FreeBSD. If I want to use a Unix desktop I reach for MacOS. If I want to have a personal server for messing around with or running some proof-of-concept app or website, I reach for Linux.

Each has its uses.
