As an outsider, it's not the reliability of the software that is amazing to me. It's the governance and management of the project. The distro has managed to be amazingly consistent and stable for years. But the reason for this is how the project is run. It's hard to do that for so long with minimal drama and they deserve tons for kudos for that effort. Like some others, where CentOS was my go-to distro, I've started moving over to Debian as my distro of choice when I can. Thus far, I've been very happy with this choice.

100%. That management makes it happen. I think we all (who can afford it) should send them a few bucks.

There is some fun drama though, but overall it's indeed minimal.

Yes! One of the things that stands out to me about Debian is that it is community governed and not underwritten by a specific large corporation. There are a special few huge open source projects that can boast that kind of stable, persistent governance.
