And Miles Fidelman's response too.

It isn't a low opinion.  Quite the opposite.  But people are people
and we are enthusiastic about things.  Here on the Debian list people
are enthusiastic about Debian.  That is human nature.  We would likely
use Debian because we know it well.  If it isn't the perfect fit then
knowing it well we would work to make it into a better fit.

IMNHO the way to ask for advice like this is to have each enthusiast
group describe why they would choose their chosen whatever.  Then with
that knowledge apply your own judgement and make your own choices.

Meanwhile I see there hasn't been any updates on the status of the
VirtualBox driver for the Linux kernel.  Therefore lacking any updates
I will continue to assume that the situation there hasn't improved.
