That webpage is pretty hilarious. I don't disagree with it either, but honestly it is one of those things where it would take way too much time to switch distros at this point considering everything works fine as it is now. Honest question though: what is the most popular distro for the users on this forum? Debian? Ubuntu? Arch?
I used gentoo for years, mostly because I really wanted to customize my system to be exactly what I wanted. Many distros just required me to do too much house keeping to get the system how I wanted (the DE I wanted, the sound system I wanted, browser, etc). I also had used gentoo for experiment with a 64bit kernel space and 32 bit userspace.
Eventually though, I moved to arch because it gave me the same flexibility without the compile times. But then I got lazy and I moved to ubuntu, because I got sick of working on my computer, I wanted to get work done with my computer, so I just accept defaults and use it. That lead me to OSX which has been far better for me until recently. Their decisions have caused me to move back to the linux world (when this notebook gets replaced). So I'll probably go back to debain/ubuntu.
All of my servers (125 as of last count) are redhat/ubuntu/solaris 10. I prefer the ubuntu servers overall.
