Well, I've been using FreeBSD for my main desktop since 4.6.2. I'm currently running 7.1-PRERELEASE on a Dell laptop where everything works except the modem. I'm typing this whilst listening to the BBC radio through the iplayer on the net in Firefox (mplayer plugin). I can connect my Palm TX and Ipod without problem when I need to. My removable drives are automatically mounted and unmounted using the thunar volume manager under Xfce. Personally, I don't see the issue with FreeBSD on the desktop - unless you need flash or nvidia graphics on amd64 (which I don't). But I suppose YMMV.
