i think it's good to have distros that are designed to be (from the outset) a fully functional desktop system, but at the same time, be fairly small, and suited to slower computers. i know you can just tweak the bigger distros so that they work, but most (non-geek)people are too lazy to do that...  
another bonus of a one cd distro is that for a dialup user, it only takes about 3 nights do download

maybe there is too much choice, but you get that when you let people do what they want with the code. it's both a good and a bad thing. no system is perfect, but i think open source has many pros and only a few cons...
