All I do on my computer is code, surf the web, and make beats.

Complexity or not, it just seems to me that there is way more effort being put into the areas that I want/need in Linux than is put into the same areas in the BSDs. Like, AFAIK, the BSDs don't support my winmodem, or have advanced audio crap like ALSA and JACK.

(ok, when it comes to coding, the BSDs beat Linux hands down because every library isn't under some viral GPL license. but still.)
