Actually I prefer their approach. While they are very conservative. IMO having them around is better than having 200 Ubuntu derivatives that bring nothing new to the table, except 5min download time of a different desktop and settings.
Also if they haven't changed their policy, they only patch packages if is really really necessary. Thus giving the user at the end one of the most stables, clean systems you may find, and as close to upstream as possible.

Slackware is a great choice when you know what you're doing and have a very specific purpose for it. If you're trying to build a regular server or desktop PC though, I wouldn't consider it an ideal option. Same goes for Gentoo.

With that said, I think most distros do a pretty good job and I have no problems using most of them, but I like Slack better.

Slackware was great back in 1995. I see absolutely no reason to choose it today when you have serious distributions like Arch or Debian and its spinoffs.
