Currently using Debian Sid with XFCE on both my desktop and netbook. I do occasionally boot into Slackware on the desktop though, again with XFCE, and I keep using Ratpoison on the netbook now and again.
I'm always playing with other distros in VMs but I've yet to see anything that makes me want to switch. Not that the other distros don't look good, because they do, I just tend to stick with what's familiar.
I absolutely agree. I primary use Debian Wheezy, but have tried Mint, Fedora, Slack, kFreeBSD, and on and on, but it's familiarity that keeps me with Debian. Although I did make the transition from Gnome 2 to Shell and am (*gasp*) loving it. It's the deep down stuff (package management, file location, etc) that makes each distro what it is to each user as far as I can see.
