Same here.

I have been using NetBSD as my primary desktop at work and at home
for many years. 
But the constant hassle with Browsers/Flash and subtle font problems 
with Softmaker Office (Linux emulation) as well as less tolerant 
users that depend on the computers I support made me eventually 
switch to Linux Mint Debian.

I've been a happy camper since then, although the anouncement of the
switch to systemd makes me shiver!

Even though I wouldn't want to see NetBSD becoming a desktop OS,
I would be happier having NetBSD under the GUI than Linux.
