I'm very thankful for the Debian team's efforts to include most of my most commonly software packages in their repo. Out of all the differences between me and my colleagues workflows on MacOS and windows, this is the most impactful one. I don't remember the last time I had any kinds of dependency issues. I keep updating my packages when I log on and there are no version and/or dependency issues whatsoever.
