Well, I like my software modified and configured to work better as a whole. And I like that no matter what software I want (even if you consider it crap), it's almost certainly already available in Debian.

There's space in the world for multiple distributions with different goals, and I bet there's at least one which doesn't modify upstream source code that you can use.
