FreeBSD developers don't use their own operating system; they run it in a Virtual machine on their Macs, and it shows.
Not true. I'm using it right now.
Suspend/resume has been broken there since 2008, and drivers for any recent Intel graphics adapter will not run (you cannot switch from Xorg to a console and back) properly.
Not true, I can suspend/resume just fine, thanks. Your comment about not being able to switch between X and console suggests your knowledge is at least two years out of date. It was true for a short while in -CURRENT (the development branch) but never the case in a -RELEASE version.
FreeBSD devs do not care about their OS; OpenBSD devs actually use their system.
FreeBSD has no wireless support for rare WiFi chipsets such as Intel's Centrino
That's odd, because pretty much every laptop I have has a Centrino Wifi chipset, and it works fine. The laptop I'm using right now is FreeBSD and has a Centrino wifi chipset, the Intel Wireless-N 105. Associated with 802.11n as well, with no problems. Can OpenBSD do 11n yet?

Also easily provably not true.
