Why not? (Not disagreeing, not either agreeing. Just wondering about your reasons and what you'd select instead.)
My use of Linux on laptops predates my exposure to CentOS. I only ever switched distributions once, and IIRC it was when we were still using RHEL in the office.
I need a distro that allows keeping up date in a reasonable way (but not necessarily bleeding edge, like Fedora). A largely static environment as presented by CentOS over its lifetime doesn't suit. A new and recent requirement is to keep the machine free of poetteringware as much as possible.
