Slackware and Debian Sid for me (on two different laptops) and Mint for my family. But I vote for Slackware :-)

Well all this talk about CrunchBang has made me very curious. And I do like Openbox. I'm downloading it now.

Manjaro

Ubuntu!

Debian Wheezy netinstall.

Voting Opensuse this year, but next year once Solusos2 is out, i will more than likely request it be added to the list and vote for it then.

I strongly disagree with this. Not the depends on who's using it part, but where you've categorized specific distros. That is only your opinion.
I regard my self as a casual user. I can do a little tinkering, but my abilities in this respect are minimal. I don't use either, Manjaro, Mint, or Ubuntu. My primary operating system currently is Debian. Why? Simply because it requires little work to achieve reliability along with little data consumed through updates. I don't consider Ubuntu or Mint reliable (that's my opinion), but have never tried Manjaro. If i were to switch away from Debian in a serious manner, the only other distros at the current time that would fit my criteria would be Slackware or a redhat clone. I doubt i'd choose the redhat clone, because of other reasons, but that's irrelevant. So the two distros i as a casual user would use, are both what you consider hobbyist distros.

For me it depends on the amount of hardware a distro will work on and the extent of testing; so, Debian.

openSUSE 12.2 and Kubuntu 12.10 were both outstanding for me this year.

Slackware. Praise "Bob"!

Why i cant vote?

Because you hadn't post before, now you have, try again.

The obvious choice is of course Slackware.
And Salix OS:
1. Because it has a well tuned Slackware kernel; and
2. Because it enjoys the strength of Slackware yet has good repositories accessible by clicks to busy desktop user.

Linux Mint (only because of LMDE) I use it more that Crunchbang, otherwise I would have voted crunchbang

I'm too comfortable with Arch to embark on my Gentoo journey. Although, I believe I am destined for Gentoo sometime...
