I kind of like Red Hat myself - when doing things for Government users - 
package and supported platform is essential.   Debian for other stuff.
The thing is, that more and more core development for Linux userland is 
being done by Red Hat people (udev, systemd in particular) - and 
somewhat being foisted on other distributions.  Kind of pushing things 
toward a more monolithic model, and the intrusiveness of systemd kind of 
engulfs and devours - kind of a worrysome long-term trend.
