It isn't so much 'hostile', as Ugh! another one that needs saving from the distro mess (some is just caused by the 'We Know better crowd' that had a specific goal and did not test fully with the rest of the distro packages).

But, the most simple reason to use the official: Many distro packages are Frozen at time of release and don't get the bi-weekly updates
