The official Slackware release is usually tested well enough that you will find
no glaring issues using it - as opposed to many mainstream Linux distributions
that release quickly but do not test as much as they claim they do.

Slackware is engineered by fans of the KISS principle, so even if new software
is included, it is included in a KISS way (so maybe you have modern components
for subsystems, but they are not organized in a complex way).

IMO Slackware is great because it allows you to work with a stable Linux
distribution that uses tested software while everybody else is going wonkers
with the new shinny thing. Sure, maybe pulseaudio and wayland and PAM and
whatever are great and everybody is including them in their distros. Slackware
has a tendency to only include controversial components like those once
everybody else has suffered through their issues and discovered them,
socomponents are in a refined state when they are brought in. If they ever are.
