Debian Unstable isn't the only rolling release distro. Another popular one I can think of Arch Linux.
Typically, changes in rolling releases are easier to deal with. At any time, the change is smaller, so you don't have to be overwhelmed by a large number of changes all over the place, as is sometimes the case with versioned releases; and the changes are fresher, so your inputs to the developers who made the change are easier to apply.

My arch installation has been running without problems for years because I don't have any massive desktop environments installed and all the development services I need are launched through docker.
