Vaporware? I'm using BTRFS as we speak
I like not having to worry about KERNEL from Linux + GNU from third parties to make a whole OS... BSD projects provide the sum of those two IN HOUSE. You get the whole OS from one shop. So all that is left is the packages you want to install like X, Firefox, GIMP, whatever just like any other OS.
Your first point Is a matter of opinion, and I can do the same thing by using Debian, Slackware or Gentoo.
