1. I didn't say they're competing file systems and don't believe UFS will ever be removed. Just because both are (or will be) proposed in the new installer doesn't mean they are. It just means the many users who wanted to install FreeBSD on ZFS can now do so. Unofficial/unsupported methods existed for a long time anyway...
2. I don't know what we are disagreeing about. I'm well aware of everything you said and totally agree with it. Furthermore, I personally don't use ZFS on my desktop systems. Though many people do, including on single disk ones. Just take a look at the official forums and you'll find quite a few people doing so.
