Its not for everyone. You do have to activate the slackpkg by uncommenting the mirror you want from the list. There are sbopkg. But if dependencies resolution is also necessary which can be done via sbotools. Extra steps yes but the distro stability is def worth it for me.
Its whatever makes sense to the situation at hand. Personal preferences will always take presidence. Is it safe to say you want more convinience overall on your prefered OS? Things that allow close to direct use of services without any adjustments to alternatives?
