I think one of the attractions might be the Debian package tools.
This is one of the weak points of FBSD. Ports is nice but it's not for everyone - it takes too much time & resources to compile software. The ability to select compile time options in ports is occasionally useful but I prefer the Debian way: stable software along with security updates.
