I think that's a little too broad.  Slackware has none of those drawbacks, 
except possibly the variable devel/release cycles.

Also, I assume when you said "Debian" above, you included at least *some* 
of it's offspring.  One example I'd throw out is "MX Linux" which is 
Debian-based but has nice tools added, and no systemd.
