It may be more interesting to work on cutting-edge stuff, but for some people things just need to work. And on most servers (and soon that would apply to desktops, too), cutting-edge stuff is not necessary, the crucial part is to have timely security updates that don't break things. Which is exactly what Debian/stable provides.

So does Ubuntu, but it's a lot nicer.
