I use stable (currently Wheezy) and love it. Everything works. Except
for a silly glitch where interfaces lo and eth0 and wlan0 sometimes
don't work or stop working, requiring an ifdown;ifup sequence, there's
nothing stupid about Wheezy. LOL, try saying that about any other
distro.
Other people mention that the software is old, but I don't think
there's one piece of software I felt the need to replace with a newer
version. And even if there were, ./configure;make;make install. Or I
hear there are even more Debianesque ways of getting a newer version of
a single program. And of course, when you have a problem and "that guy"
says "you're using an old version, upgrade to version x.y.z", you ask
him whether your current version is known to produce the problem under
discussion.
I've never used testing or unstable, but speaking for stable, I find it
wonderful.
