What are you talking about? The reviewer clearly states that this is a great distro for users who want fine grained control, but a bad choise for people who are terrified of the "black window" -- Exactly what you state in your comment, and basically what we all know.
Besides, I dont think the other user complained about the major packages. There are thousands of people ready to maintain KDE and xorg, since these are packages used by everyone and gets lots of attention. Its far less appealing for developers to spend their spare time maintaing, lets say bc and windowmaker, as they might find themselves wondering wether anyone cares at all.
