"I now refuse to waste my time with it and will not recommend it to anyone"

If your Judging is based solely on the review and the comments, you are probably wrong.

The team leader is certainly biased. But let's be fair, the review was at best wishy-washy. The comparison with XP or Mac OS made no sense at all.

"Its because of elitist attitudes.."

I never used CollegeLinux but from their forums seems like they might have something good too. Free support, free distribution. Doesn't sound elitist to me.
