I think that your statement here is fundamentally flawed and wrong, because
you have assumed that it is impossible for the OS to be able to be user
friendly and geek friendly at the same time. This is wrong. In fact, I have
outlined ways repeatedly that FreeBSD could provide an easy to use package
system without compromising on the flexibility of ports in any way. The
idea that the OS has to be either difficult to use or it has to be easy to
use for novices is wrong. The OS can be both and I have written about ways
that can be done, in fact, I can show how it can be done in every area. For
instance, with better binary packages, those are simply built from ports
using the best set of options. Those who want to compile for themselves
will still be able to do so, just fine.
So you have presented a position here that is simply not true. FreeBSD can
be more user friendly and as the same time be flexible and friendly to
experts such as yourself.
its not an either or choice.
It can be, if there aren't resources available to devote to both.
You've brought this up multiple times. No one is interested in
actually doing it. Maybe you should do it yourself and provide the
person-power and hardware to get it done right. If it works, I suspect
that the FreeBSD devs would accept it and make you an official
contributor.
Otherwise, as has been noted several times, you are not FreeBSD's
target audience.
