/usr/local

"good use of<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/local (most Linux distributions leave this empty and concentrate on filling<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/*bin instead"

What's so great about this? On Linux I understand that<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/local is for stuff I compile and install myself (fortunately, almost nothing) while my package manager takes care of<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/bin. What's the benefit of the FreeBSD way?
