FWIW; I have practically given up on installing FreeBSD lately and I mostly use PC-BSD. I mainly see two big issues: -X.Org has become very difficult to install. Setting up hald and friends, not to mention that you have to choose carefully your hardware previously. It's a nightmare. - I am OK with sysinstall disappearing: however it was nice to have all the setup tools in one place. How am I supposed to install prebuilt packages (and the myriad of dependencies) from now on? Ports are cool but having to wait to rebuild gcc to be able to use scilab is a nonsense. PC-BSD is not without problems though. In my system it wants to use "latam" kbd which doesn't even exist AFAICT. Just my $0.02, I know writing a replacement for the full blown sysinstall is a rather heroic thing to do.
