   Nowadays I don't feel like using anything that lacks a ports system, unless it   
   is for trivial tasks. Being able to automatically compile your software against   
   any library you see fit, instead of having to keep the libraries the packagers   
   have decided you must use, solves a lot of problems. This is what I end up   
   missing the most with Devuan and friends. I still install lots of Devuans for   
   relatives, though.   
      
   My issue with FreeBSD is precisely that it feels so much like Linux :-P NetBSD   
   and OpenBSD are pretty much their own thing. I like OpenBSD because the   
   operating system is much better organized, but you are in for a lot of man page   
   reading.
