Well, I'll take your question liberally and s/distro/system/. If so, I've
run Debian happily enough and more than happily swapped to -OpenBSD- for
my main operating system :)

Reason? The anarchy in Linux is a bit much to handle for me, I like having
one nice CVS tree that everything is in and everything has a history through.

I don't really blame this on Debian though, it has it as much together as
most any major distro, it is more of a Linux problem.

Truthfully, that is probably the biggest thing I still miss with Linux,
organization. While it certainly allows advances to go more rapidly at
times as everyone just does what they want, it generally leaves things
feeling a bit out of sync.

Now lets see if everyone can resist the flame-bait :)
