I'd take exception to the 'slow death' comment.
I was hoping somebody might. And I'm the OP!
I personally enjoy using Slackware for the same reasons you do. Especially the "Vanilla" reason. Slackware pretty much lets me manage my computers the way I want. I have experienced a number of other distros, and once I tried Slackware1 there was no turning back.
I'm glad others don't necessarily see Slackware as "dying a slow death", and I thank the above posters for presenting a different perspective of Slackware's status.
1 Ironically, the friend who turned me on to Slackware jumped over to Gentoo several months later. Of course, Gentoo has even more of the do-it-yourself philosophy than Slackware, and it was just becoming big around then.
