My reasoning is simply that I've heard it is about as 'simple' as possible, 
and therefore very complex to set up - let alone use. On the other hand, 
I've also heard (read) that installing and using Slackware is a great way of 
getting to know Linux, and that Slackware users are generally the most 
knowledgeable Linux users about. I realise that's a big generalisation, but 
maybe you're right - Slackware might be a good option for me.
