Of course I'm going to say the distro I use is the best. Having tried a lot
of distributions I find Debian to be the best therefore I'm going to use
it. QED :-)

If an app is dropped for being to buggy but for some reason I don't seem to
be affected I'll just download it and use it anyway. If an app was *that*
buggy surely people wouldn't use it and it wouldn't matter whether the app
is included or not?
