IMHO the switch to modular X.org may be the biggest change.
Ubuntu 7.10's Compiz was "bling" because not everyone has it. Unfortunately Debian 4 was released with delay and there was nothing impressive in its Compiz. I never heard of Network-Manager as something really bling. Anyway, with rare releases, it's hard to be "bling" from upstream software. Indeed, you can't both have long release cycles and coolest/newest, particularly with long freezes. Ignoring testing, it's not honest to say that Debian is coolest or newest. It's good to be enthusiastic, but with moderation - Debian is far from perfect. If you push enthusiasm too far, it becomes fanatism. If you find something in Debian is cool, feel free to blog about it...or advertise it!

I simply don't understand why people freak out and party for the release of some piece of software at all. It's nice to see progress but after all software is a tool to work with.
Ok Mac people are different in that way by nature but I can't see why someone should adopt this kind of euphoric dance for new products in other fields. Maybe I should ask my baker for a release party whenever he has some new kind of bread to sell.
