Linux, MacOs and Windows are better environments if you want drop-in solutions. FreeBSD does not have a desktop environment (Use GhostBSD for that or add something custom). FreeBSD does not support Docker because it has better solutions in place. It can be a headache to set things up when you are new to Unix. Don't expect that the latest version of some Jetbrains IDE is 2 commands away. Compiling and other solutions might be needed. The community of FreeBSD is very helpful. The forum and several maillists are the best way to go with questions.
