Plus extra-slick artwork splashed here and there, a very solid (in my
experience) helix-update utility, no-brainer install procedure (sure I
have a brain, I just use it for other things <*cough*>) and a
committment to supporting a wide range of distributions and
applications.  Just a few reasons off the top of my head.

No, they don't pay my salary.  Just, IMHO, an example of a great
company choosing a really worthwhile project, and executing it to
perfection.
