I am no leader. I just posted my experiences then.  I liked KDE and then 
RedHat didn't have good enough KDE, so I might have advocated mandrake.. :)

IMO, slackware is all for stability. Once you have every tool that you need, 
only security updates and at most one yearly update is all it takes. No more 
installing/testing tons of programs. There is just no time for that.

And same goes for archlinux. Though it has rolling updates, the branch is 
stable i.e. tested in a unstable/testing branch. One always has option to 
follow either of them. Personally I follow stable. It has almost latest and 
greatest but without any issues(most of the time of course).
