It seems that PC-BSD has set a trend. "DesktopBSD aims at being a stable and powerful operating system for desktop users. DesktopBSD combines the stability of FreeBSD, the usability and functionality of KDE and the simplicity of specially developed software to provide a system that's easy to use and install." How this new BSD distribution stacks up against PC-BSD remains to be seen.

There are no BSD file system layout standards! FreeBSD's layout for example is different from NetBSD's...
What we need is additional package management for /home/user!! And I don't mean ports, pkgsrc or pbi, because they are system-wide and have to be managed by root.
I don't see what's so cool about PC-BSDs package management? "Konvalo" and "Zero Install" were there before and they work for Linux and the BSDs now! The only thing missing is more support from users and packagers.
