Everyone can generate their own evidence to support their own point, but in the end FreeBSD are equal, but different operating systems. I prefer Linux, and I run a fairly active server off Linux, I do contract work for at least one local ISP that's running Linux. Linux works very well for them and me, and for most people I know that use it. Does this somehow diminish FreeBSD? Hardly! FreeBSD is just as good as Linux, and which one a person chooses is entirely a matter of preferance. I do know, however, that if it hadn't been for Linux I wouldn't have a FreeBSD box here on my desk. Nowadays I am very knowledgeable with Linux, and I find that the differences between FreeBSD and Linux provide an interesting diversion - when the BBS software I'm working on is driving me nuts with weird memory problems, I can just duck over to boron here and work on a more rudementary problem.
