I'm using Debian stable and it works great. The debian-backports reposoritory is really helpfull to get the latest nvidia driver and other packages.

Here are some values of mine that I can think of as I write this, which Debian delivers, and makes me adore it.:
1) Stability / Security / Reliability
2) Excludes any trace of proprietary software by default AND makes proprietary software easy to install if the user desires it (so it's good for both idealism and pragmatism). I much rather go through roundabout methods of obtaining certain proprietary software that I feel I need rather than have proprietary software installed that I am not aware of, nor need. (The vrms tool is one useful tool for keeping proprietary software to a minimum.)
3) Massive repositories and beautiful package management system.
4) Multiple architectures supported, so I can carry an identical user experience on an ARM netbook, for example.
5) Apt-pinning and backports makes it much easier to keep a "99% super stable" (Debian stable repository) / "1% regular stable" (Debian stable backports and Debian testing repositories), for example. This ensures that any program that contains enough features to satisfy you can keep getting security-focused fixes, while still keeping the upgraded ones largely secure and stable. (Other branch combinations are possible, but that's my preference.)
The Debian project's decisions line up with my opinions perfectly; I have yet to disagree with a decision made by that project . . . it's an awesome project! :D I think I'm in love. :P
