I meant both userland and toolchain. I like the BSD userland for its simplicity, but the GNU userland has a lot of features that BSD doesn't have. It's bigger, and some may say more bloated, but it works well and is fully-featured.

Do you have an example of this or a lot of them?

I'm not worried about "bloat". What I am worried about it lack of functionality. If BSD is lacking in that area, it should be easy to identify.

Do you mean a GNU userland or toolchain? FreeBSD definitely has GNU toolchain although the ones in base are being deprecated. Still available in ports though. And I'd take the BSD userland over the clusterF GNU's is any day.
