# Why did you come to FreeBSD as a development platform?

There are several reasons for that choice. As a curious student, I first tried [FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/) in early 2000's, testing version 4.5. What impressed me first at that time was its documentation (["handbook"](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/)) and man pages. While GNU/Linux appeared to be complex to me, FreeBSD suddently appeared to be clear. With a very nice and welcoming community, it was the perfect platform for a newcomer into the UNIX world.

What impressed me at that time was its documentation (["handbook"](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/)) and man ("manual") pages. While GNU/Linux appeared complex to me, FreeBSD suddenly became more clear. With a very nice and welcoming community, it was the perfect platform for a newcomer into the UNIX world. I became hooked on FreeBSD and haven't returned to any other system since.

I later understood another reason of that clarity : it is a homogeneous system, not a patchwork of very different projects. That makes all the difference: a specific version of FreeBSD represents a specific version of world (a selection of base components) *and* kernel, making a complete system. Those components are maintained by the same entity ([FreeBSD developers](https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/contributors/)) and, as such, everything is consistent, from options to documentation to man pages. This is a great value for users and a guarantee of robustness and stability for the system.
