Nothing is wrong with it. It is a fine distro. If you like it, stick 
with it. I don't have much Debian experience, but have tried it several 
times. It is not the easiest distro to set up and not the most uptodate 
(even the unstable branch). It is a matter of taste. I know that many 
people on this list like it, and I am sure that they know why. You 
already have experience with Debian. You have asked what distros other 
people might use und the reasons why. I have taken the opportunity to 
talk about distros which haven't got much coverage on this list.

Linux is about choice. Choice is good.

All distros have pluses and minuses. Most distros are good. Only very 
few are bad. It is really only a matter of taste.

If you are unsure about the right distro for you to use, you have to try 
them all. There's no way around this. Unfortunately people always 
recommend their favorite distro to others ;-)
