Elive is a nice-looking distro.  It's based on Debian- which makes it
cooler.  Wow, look at all of that eye-candy goodness!

Linus is right.  There are so many different needs.  One distro simply
cannot solve all problems.  Advanced users may not want a distro that
newbies enjoy using.  I think having a wide variety of distros is great,
and people will be able to find the one that fits them just right.  :)
