What is this reasoning? I'm not subscribed to the debian-kernel list. I want to know that. > but it is kinda sad nonetheless...

I'm completely in agree with you: the impressions of a product makes it better or worst than others. Perhaps debian is good, but it should seem good too. A cool (but formal) web page design, bootsplash, d-i (now improved; but what's about gtk-d-i (Ubuntu consider it seriously)?), apt wishes implemented .... are things that help (very much) to people think debian is a good distro or simply a passable distro.
