Simple
It works. Does everything I want it to do.
More importantly, it does NO MORE than I want it to.
No adware, no popups, no spyware.
No-one can restrict me (DMCA - DeCSS no problem outside US. Ask DVD-Jon).
With a little work, almost no-one can spam me.
No-one can mBlaster me.
No bloat'y apps.
And, for me, the biggie.
No large corporation can download a new 'service pack' to make my software suddenly comply with the laws of a foreign country 5,000 kilometres away, in whose law-making processes I have no say. (Read your EULA's carefully!)
Oh, and I like the price!
(Even with buying a distro)
