I hear it all the time, mostly from Ubuntu and Debian users (we have millions of users, so I get an earful of just about every strongly held opinion out there), but occasionally from SUSE and FreeBSD users.
It tends to be sour grapes about Red Hat and derivatives being the most popular. That may change now that Ubuntu is approaching similar popularity on servers (which is the sort of Linux users I interact with). But, I also hear quite a bit of bellyaching about RPM and yum, which I can't fathom...I prefer them to apt-get/dpkg, though both are perfectly acceptable and I rarely complain about either.
But, I hear a lot of complaints about just about everything. So, maybe Red Hat just gets the biggest share because they get the biggest share of the money in the Linux distro market.
