Yes, Debian is for Hackers, but it is the choice to base another distro
UserLinux is only BASED on Debian, it is NOT Debian. It is designed to be easy to use and install, without all of the clutter of Debian. Download the Live CD and see how it looks:

http://userlinux.com/

Did you know Lindows (Linspire) is also based on Debian?

Also check out another cool Debian based distro that also has a live demo CD: Ubuntu Linux from South Africa.

In the future, we will have distributions based on distribution base on Debian.

Actually, look for custom self branded distributions based on UserLinux.
