it's OK. users that REQUIRE lots of graphics etc.. don't usually make use 
of it. so what's wrong with windoze. right software for the right people.

in unix - as you say - you have a choice in every place. so that's good 
that "desktop usage" isn't "improved" in FreeBSD as this improvement == 
lack of choice.

for those who don't like to "hack the system", just have everything just 
put up and ready to use, there is already windows!
