Although I agree with you 100%, I still find your statement amusing....
8 or 9 years ago, people insisted Debian was too hard for beginners,
which I never understood.. the installer then wasn't pretty, but it did
work fine and didn't do anything really complex, and apt.. as long as
you stick to stable is wonderful... no more dependency hell.

A prettier install process, an improved desktop (which isn't really
Debian/Ubuntu/etc, it's KDE or GNOME) and Debian based distros are the
cool kids on the block (where they should be, imho...)
