The good:

* ifconfig handling everything is brilliant. Having one tool to do networking, including WiFi(!) is great.

* the documentation is good. `man -k` normally gets you what you need.

* "base builds base" is pretty cool. I managed to rebuild base on a 1GHz single core BeagleBone Black in 48hrs.

the bad:

* Performance. I didn't think this would be a huge issue, however it's much slower than Trisquel, Parabola and GuixSD running GNOME on a x200. WiFi also seemed slow.

* IPv6 seemingly didn't work, even when verifying my ifconfig setup.

* Filesystem. I don't expect them to add ZFS due to code size and license, but still using UFS is laughable. UFS seemed to have I/O deficiencies which exacerbated the performance issue.

* the other documentation. While the manpages are good, information on the internet can be contradictory depending on it's age.

* No lsblk. This is more of a nitpick, but there is seemingly no way to get the right name for a disk without parsing through `dmesg` and guessing with partition number.

* pkg_add. It's extremely slow compared to apt even and separates it's parts out for seemingly no reason. Package management in general is somewhat awful.
