But the argument can be made, again, that if you are familiar with a
distro, then it's not as big a deal.  In my job, my coworkers & I often
times write scripts, be they Perl or Bash scripts, that rewrite, or
alter configuration files.

Myself, I am very familiar with Gentoo, Slackware & RedHat (CentOS) and
can find any config file I generally want... and all three distros vary
greatly from one another.  This goes the same for people who like SuSe &
Debian, even though myself, I don't like them at all.  But... to each
their own.
