I guess that Slackware is for different people. For some, I can think of a statement something like "Linux is free as long as you don't value your time". Some people make videos on the topic published on youtube.

For some of us, it is actually more time consuming using other distros. Yes, Slackware is not a distro that will hold your hand and provide you fancy custom GUIs to help manage installation or packages. That is a turn off for some people and there's nothing wrong with not liking Slackware because of that.
But for many of us, it is nice to use the upstream tools to manage our systems rather than some custom GUI that the distro developed to manage everything. We're in charge of everything on our computers and Slackware doesn't try to shield us from shooting ourselves in the foot. That has led to some broken systems or lost data for some of us (me included), but many of us turned it into a learning experience to learn that thing better to prevent it from happening in the future.
If you feel that Slackware is not the right distro for you, there's nothing wrong with that. There are a lot of flavors of Linux and if another one suits you better, then that is the better option for you.
If you are interested in learning more about Slackware and to learn the installer and partitioning better so you don't make a similar mistake again, we'd be happy to help you out with it.
