This is sad. I am using CB on my Notebooks and i love it. It's preconfigured setup was the perfect sweet spot between a Debian-minimal install and the somewhat "bloated" big distros out there.
In my own use, I found Crunchbang to have the UX polish of a large distro with the overhead of a minimal distro. An excellent combination that will be greatly missed.
When I discovered Crunchbang, I was blown away. about 90% of what I set up for myself was already done here, with a slightly different theme and a few different default apps of course. But I found that with just an hour or so of tweaking I could get Crunchbang to the same state I would spend a weekend trying to get to on another distro. The differences between Crunchbang defaults and my own were usually improvements, and I decided to switch to better apps after giving them a go in Crunchbang (from Gedit to Geany for editing for example).
