Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Stability
It is stable like Debian.
Pro It's Debian
Devuan is Debian just without systemd, it just mirrors the the Debian archive and repacks packages that have hard dependencies on systemd.
Pro Excellent for normal people
It is easy to use and is a good choice for beginners.
Pro No Systemd
Pro Most decent look amongst other XFCE distros
Default XFCE theme is unique of all the XFCE distos including MXLinux, Xubuntu etc.
Cons
Con Difficult to install on non-free hardware
Unlike Debian, Devuan offers no unfree netinstall media, so if your system needs unfree drivers (e.g a laptop or a tablet), you'll have to download the Debian firmware on a separate USB.
Con No systemd
Con Fragmentation
Forked distributions like Devuan and Artix fragment the Linux community and hurt the original project. Debian users who do not want systemd should use Slackware or BSD instead.
Con Nothing special about it
It is not really different to any other debian with enlightenment packages installed eg: it uses network manager instead of e apps like econnman...
Con Comes with Moksha preinstalled
An Enlightenment fork.
Con Outdated packages
Enlightenment packages are not up to date.
Con No real installer
It just boots the livecd and copies the livecd to the disk, which gives you no choices in software selection.
Con Many GTK or Qt Apps installed
Con Uses systemd
