I've recently switched to OpenBSD as a workstation desktop using Xfce. Chromium and Firefox (ESR) are the browsers. Emacs is used for many things (authoring, calendaring, contacts, email, IRC, task tracking, etc.). LibreOffice gets used for the balance. That covers most workstation activities. All the web sites that I care about work. The performance is good enough. With OpenBSD, there's some assembly required. I don't mind that. The right way to approach OpenBSD and its ports collection is as a toolkit. You have to use the tools provided, to make the solution you want. I'm already running OpenBSD servers. It was just easier to use OpenBSD for the destktop as well.
