I wouldn't go that far, its just that the view is that most distros
should be able to handle the needs of someone doing web development.

I wouldn't be so sure, as it depends on what you are developing. Web
development covers a multitude of stuff these days, including stuff I
know nothing about like java. applets. tomcat. servlets. mono. ajax.  

If you are writing static html pages or standard LAMP stuff most distros
should work for you. If you are into really cutting edge stuff, it would
pay to check that the specific app you want to use works easily on the
distro you choose.

Be specific about what you want and I'm sure someone will know the ins
and outs of what works where.

Yep, that usually works!
