For me it's pretty much all package management:

- I like that all the packaging stuff is done by a single command (yum, or more recently dnf).

- I find RHEL derivatives' packaging conventions easier to deal with than Debian derivatives' (<thing>, <thing>-dev, lib<thing> etc. isn't always consistent on Debian derivatives).

- EPEL gives me most of the packages I need and I don't have issues with them being dated as often as Ubuntu LTS.

- RHEL derivatives' don't tend to do weird nonsense like messing with nginx configuration layout to match Apache.
