I would say it's more slanted towards desktop use than server use. Generally you want to automate server management with some sort of config management. While possible with Slackware, it's easier with a Debian or Red Hat style system. For a desktop Slackware is pretty nice. It's easy to understand and gets out of your way. I used it for over a decade until, one day, I realised I was tired of recompiling slackbuilds after each low level dependency upgrade.
