I don't doubt it suits you and many others quite well. But I'm glad 
there are other choices available to us.

I've been spared that agony as well, and I've never ventured outside 
Slackware. :) It's the old "different strokes for different folks" 
syndrome, and the "more than one way to skin a cat" factor (although 
it's hard to imagine such a trade in feline pelts as to spark the need 
for such experimentation.)

"Distro wars" (and BTW I don't think of this discussion in those terms) 
are generally not useful, but I do want to give the OP some positive 
encouragement if he decides to stay Slack. It's a different approach, 
and a quite valid one. Simple is good. And I think it's true that 
Slackers tend to develop more in-depth understanding of how everything 
fits together in GNU/Linux.

Of course as Joshua points out there's definitely something to be said 
for things Just Working without having to work at it. Funny thing is, 
I've often had that very experience with Slackware!
