Is Slackware good for mine/ yours business?

There is similar thread here. But it's focusing on Slackware features important from novice user.
In old book about UNIX administration authors are mentioning Slackware. But today it difficult to find book about a Linux administration mentioning Slackware.
My answer is sure but not at present stage of its development. I will be happy to set service on a Slackware but once stable is released and enough long time tested.
This is for the sake of my own good opinion. People around don't care what kind of system is used. Technical explanations make things only worse.
There are two groups of users now. People thinking about personal use and those who think about solutions provided on base of Slackware. To satisfy expectations both these groups seems to be more and more difficult.
Now simple statistic would provide us answer which of these groups is growing in size. If we find trend there it may determine Slackware future no matter of our BDFL plans.
