I have been using Debian for 6 yrs. It is a great distro, but it is not for user Joe, at least not just yet. Other distro like RH targets for profits, so satisty user joe's needs is the priority. The needs include hardware detection, good looking GUI application/admin, etc. On the other hand, Debian is not for profits but for ppl who usually enjoy hacking of some form. So Debian will last.
Debian likes to do all things the duct-taped way using shell script, Perl, Python, etc. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it. But then it exposes a lot of underlying system user joe doesn't really care. For a hacker, that's where the power lies.
The solution for user joe is either to use RH and other distro or to wait for KDE/GNOME to have a more organized/functional control panel of some sort.
Aside from that, can all distro stops putting every binaries in/usr/bin? Use some directories to organize things better
