By default Bodhi has only five pre-installed applications: Midori, Terminology, PCManFM, ePhoto, and ePad.
Which does not reflect the changes already mentioned in the description for 5.1 (replacing midori/epad with epiphany/leafpad) or that synaptic is now included. But other than that seems ok, perhaps that what you mean about not updated.
I visit DistroWatch regularly. I look forward to each new edition of DistroWatch Weekly. Just finished reading this week's review of EndeavourOS, which was of interest to me because I ran Antergos for a while. I like to check out the comments section, too.
The page hit rankings are kinda entertaining; accept them for what they are and take it with a grain of salt. Overall, the site is a nice resource for info about various distros.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

I check the "Latest Packages" section on the left side of the page. It lists new package releases, sometimes before the news is posted on the project's own web site.
It's a useful site when I need to check something out, get a feel for some distro.
I wouldn't put too much trust in their statistics though.
And a distro not listed on distrowatch is not necessarily a bad distro.
I never browse it though, for news or whatever.
But I did find this some time ago.
Distribution: Mainly Devuan, antiX, & Void, with Tiny Core, Fatdog, & BSD thrown in.

Seldom...
When I first started out, I'd check it, & distro hop, but I found my preferred kind of distro fairly quickly, & have been with it & similar, ever since.
I am on distrowatch often, but pages do go dormant if the maintainers stop sending update information to the site. It is not the job of the distrowatch team go go out and research the distributions, they depend upon provided data for that.
I go to DW for reviews - I don't care about the rankings because I think they are only based on page hits not actual popularity/quality. There are some real gems in the middle/bottom of the list and some real turds in the top 10 so that just reinforces my theory The review links are good I think - gives good info to those who are searching.
