Very good when one comes to terms with it. As with directly Debian based distros, Ubuntu obviously excluded, the offer is overwhelming. But user interface isn't intuitive at all before one investigates the menus and finds out what is what and where is that. I might be too critical here, I am a hobbyist.
I'd like to praise the looks of the distro though. And it is not sluggish, I've got it on old HP laptop from previous decade.
For someone working in IT this would make a good tool. If that someone knew the ways with (GNU/)Linux distributions. And if the employer would not buy a Mac... After all BunsenLabs Linux has all that one needs, if not already in place then easily accessed with apt. A freelancer would save a pretty penny. But of course time would have be invested if one's not familiar with these.

Generally this is a good solid distro.
I would wish that they had a centralized tool for configuring things. As a many years user of SuSE I was very spoiled by YAST, and now that YAST has been released under GPL, I think more distribution should simply start using YAST. Failing that, putting everything in one menu items would be a huge help, right now somethings are in the "System" menu item, but some things are not (e.g. network configuration) and some thing are in Preferences, e.g., Power Managment.
Kudos to them for also including Blackbox window manager integration, and that is important to me, although getting all the black box tools up and running did take some time.
It is fast and responsive in most apps, although the Firefox seems to lag quite noticeably.
There forums though are not accepting my email address. It is a .duck.com email address--it shouldn't be that unusual, and so that is why I downgraded it.

I prefer Crunchbangplusplus over BL, but BL would be my second choice out of all the other distros out there, but there's just too much going on with BL that is unnecessary, the Blob theme manager is buggish too, switched between two of the themes and some apps still had the color from the one I just switched from. No need for 10 themes, when you can ship a distro with only a light or a dark theme, the rest the users can figure out by themselves.
For me the true successor of CrunchBang is Crunchbangplusplus, not what BL has become, a true mad lab.
