Does Nix's break from FHS cause problems?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh I remember trying this, I should give it another go!
Eh. I didn't personally find that the upheaval added much, and it interfered with my muscle memory working with FHS systems... which are everything else. It didn't add, like, BeOS-levels of drastic benefit in exchange for being so divergent. And it obviously never caught on anywhere else.
Just my experience.
