Like I said - not for purists.
I'm not a purist so for me those points *are* in favour.

I don't begrudge the existence of other distros so you can have one

I'm not going to start a distro war. All distros are good (to different people).
PCLinuxOS is good for people like me. I hope your distro is good for you.

Peace. Out.
