That's a fair enough comment really. To the average PC user, yes it is going to be the only one to compete with Ubuntu - unsuccessfully. To the higher life forms - e.g. uber g33ks like us, no. Although when I tried it out, I did quite enjoy the experience of PCBSD. The keywords there is 'desktop distributions'. FreeBSD is more of a What-ever-you-want distro, and requires prior knowledge of what and where things are to get FreeBSD into a workable desktop environment, whereas PCBSD is more plug'n play and dare I say it 'just works'.
