I just started using Debian a month or two ago myself. I have installed Wheezy on two systems, a new Thinkpad laptop and an older quad-core desktop. While there are still a few things I haven't gotten working (root doesn't get syslog email, etc.), I'm mostly quite pleased. I used Fedora and before that RedHat Linux since perhaps '97 or '98, but since I worked in embedded, the case for switching to a deb-based distribution has become compelling.
I've packaged the open source project I work on using Launchpad and plan to submit it to Emdebian when I feel it's ready. First I must write some man pages, convince my buddies to pick compliant shared-object names, and split some plugins into their own packages, sigh. But I'm having fun with Debian and am excited about joining the community. I watched the talk about Debian Women on video from Debconf a couple of weeks ago, which is how I found out about this mailing list.
