Ah, well, if that was really true, no distribution derived from any other should be recommended. So in this is certainly not universally true.
Comparing with stock Debian, I like the additional system management tools and the more relaxed approach to software that Debian considers not free enough. I have better ways to spend my time than teaching Debian how to come up with the proper drivers for my wifi chipset, graphics card, zfs or whatever.
