Much nicer and generally does the right thing automatically more often than the OpenBSD system I have. And a whole lot easier than it was back in the 1.0R days when it was a real pain. Building a system on a live system is an inherantly dangerous operation. The fact that it works (or seems to) as well as it does is nothng short of unbelievable. Finally, make world isn't a complete upgrade. It doesn't do anything to your /etc files so you have to merge them by hand. Warner
