I don't use Slackware because their package manager won't figure out
dependencies for me, causing me to need 10x the time to install some
things (and I install a lot of stuff --- did I ever mention I write
books for a living?).
On the other hand, a lot of people I respect (including emninger) love
Slackware specifically because it leaves figuring dependencies to the
user, leading to a relatively dependency-lean environment.
