The main issue I've had with any bsd system isn't the system itself but the settings and configurations of packages. Often defaults are different for no other reason than the package creator thought it might be a minor improvement in some way. I'd rather be using a more thoroughly used set of packages. The few times I've used non-Ubuntu based package sources I often find I'm contributing to make it just work. Now I'm not saying that Ubuntu packages are always right but I'd like the authors of the software choose defaults and if they get fixed/changed it happens in a given version on all systems.
Yes, there is a tradeoff sometimes between security and convenience, and OpenBSD chooses security by default, and things usually just work. But Ubuntu is probably more convenient/easy for some things (or debian or devuan anyway: I've been burned by ubuntu, and even debian, where devuan seemed to "just work" the most... more tradeoffs always.)
