Philosophically-speaking, Debian is my favourite but I never had much
like for how it operates outside of the command-line. It's great to run
servers with but as a desktop operating system, I always preferred
Fedora and Ubuntu. Debian's developers never thought much of providing a
decent desktop experience from what I could tell.

Of course, considering that the components used in Debian end up being
used by its derivatives, perhaps all distributions are going to behave
in that manner shortly?
