Having been a long time Slack user myself, and evangelist ;-), I can point out 
what I believe is the number one flaw with it;  

You have to find out how to find the information before you can even RTFM!  
Imagine trying to learn system commands and not even knowing what 'man' is.  
To this day Slackware does not make it easy to find system documentation if 
you want to learn Linux.
