> 1. Where do you use FreeBSD? On your laptop? Remote servers? Routers?

Everything headless and sometimes kiosks.

> 2. Why do you use FreeBSD instead of Linux?

There's no such thing as "using Linux". You should ask why use FreeBSD over Debian, or why FreeBSD over Arch. Much easier questions with often quite obvious answers.

> 3. Why do you use FreeBSD instead of OpenBSD or another *BSD?

OpenBSD has no usable filesystem.

> 4. Do you find something lacking in FreeBSD? Is there something that is good in another OS that you'd like to see in FreeBSD?

Not really. Maybe swappiness and zram would be nice sometimes, but no biggie.

> 5. What is that one thing about FreeBSD that you would hate to lose if you were forced to use another OS?

Simplicity, coherence, and reliability.
