jesus. blah blah blah *sigh*
From your glib, psuedo elitist, remarks it sounds like Debian is just perfect. Indeed, it may be perfect for you. But, even you must admit that with so many complaints about it for SO MANY YEARS, that there is a problem.
There is definitely a problem. After YEARS, Debian has finally made a new release and that release is still WAY behind the times. Claims of stability and security are no longer being accepted because Debian seems to offer little or nothing more than other distributions that are far more current.
Regardless of your opinion, Debian is marginalizing itself because it is not meeting the needs or requirements of its users and other distributions, such as Ubuntu, are meeting those needs. Even Debian's new project leader is painfully aware of this and has stated that he and the Debian team are working to change it.
The question being asked now is whether or not the changes are too little too late. The underlying suspicion is that it is too little too late.
