We use FreeBSD in production (SaaS accounting/payroll app) as a load balancing proxy/web server (Nginx) and outgoing mail server (OpenSMTPD) because it's a stable, proven OS with sane defaults. Thanks to OpenBSD, we get an awesome firewall (PF) and dead simple OpenSMTPD mail server (total config is around 25 lines which gives us DKIM signing and PKI with no additional software).

At home, FreeBSD is used as a HTPC (Kodi), file server and backup box (it acts like a Time Machine for our Macs via netatalk and for Linux we use rsnapshot over NFS).
