I'm sure at least a few of you hear have used backtrack for testing your network or for other "reasons", well backtrack creators have been working on this bad boy in silence for about a year now :P check it here currently looking at how different it is from backtrack.
It doesn't look any different than good ol' Backtrack, if only the move from Ubuntu to Debian.
While I can't say I'm displeased with this move, I don't think there's any need to make a big deal about it.

What else is new?

I found it to be cleaner and less buggy, I guess skids who want to hack their neighbors wifi will enjoy it lol.
the first change was platform from Ubuntu to Debian. Debian-compliant packages and Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) compliance were two things that fed into this decision: “What this means is that instead of having to navigate through the /pentest tree, you will be able to call any tool from anywhere on the system as every application is included in the system path.”

and they have more than 300 penetration testing tools, I'm not too impressed though, i'm not impressed with backtrack either, for me backtrack is nothing more than an ubuntu with metasploit installed, maybe i didn't know how to use backtrack, that is a possibility, but every time i wanted to use backtrack, what i was using is just metasploit, so i ended up uninstalling backtrack and installing metasploit

I assure you it's more than just metasploit, though most of the tools on BT can be installed on most Linux (some can be used on windows) platforms.

Please, reassure me and tell me that at least some people on this forum share the same feeling.
I haven't come across a skid yet :P been on this forum for a while.
