I guess i'll pitch in my experience with linux.

I started using linux in 1992 or 1994 using RH 5.x (can't remember)

Anyway after about a year of RH I switched to Mandrake. I spent about 2 years 
with mandrake and tried SuSE. I liked SuSE. Other than Yast sometimes taking 
ages to work, it was overall a great distro. I used SuSE up until they made 
YaST closed source. After that a friend suggested trying Ubuntu, but I am a 
KDE guy so I opted to try Kubuntu. I've been with it ever since! (I'm pretty 
sure 3 years now) I've even tried RH and almost switched back to SuSE last 
year. that lasted about 2 days when I realized I really really missed apt!!!!

I'll never leave apt.
