No, compare the Gnome2 package on FreeBSD with the Gnome package on OpenBSD. Many more tools on the F-BSD one.

You are also spreading FUD about Firefox. The latest Firefox is ported to OpenBSD. OpenBSD project however keeps around Firefox 3.5.xxx because of Java. Namely Firefox is so buggy and SUN Java plug-ins do not work on Firefox 3.6.xxx. Since many people do need Java we keep 3.5.xxx in ports. There is a serious effort on the way to port IcedTea Java to OpenBSD (or should I say just remaining parts which will enable browser plugins). after which we will ditch 3.5.xxx completely.
3.5? The package available is 3.0 as I said. This is not FUD it is what the situation is. Point me to a 3.5 package? Ports are a turn-off, I spent hours compiling OpenOffice on FreeBSD two weeks ago, why repeat that if packages exist?

That was very dishonest and incompetent post for the lack of better wording. One of the worst I have seen around here.
This is a compare OpenBSD with FreeBSD thread I think. The above are my impressions after trying both. It may not be to your liking but it is honest, please do not doubt that.
