No way, Debian stable is completely useless as a distro unless you're in to time machines and like the feeling of being stuck 5 years behind the curve

Run Debian testing or get packages from backports if you need newer packages. It's still more stable than a rolling distro.

Debian stable is great if you value stability over everything else, for example on a server, or a desktop PC you want to "just work". Major updates happen around once every 2 years, not 5 years.

If you have a device with a specific usage, then its more than perfect as its stable.

Only need to draw and write documents on a portable convertable? Suits nicely.

Want to code on that thing too? Uh. Idk. Use other distro, would be much easier as debian sucks in this category.
