Ae people actually using Kali to get their normal shit done? Isn't it some sort of pentester's liveCD or something? (not sure haven't used it since it was Backtrack),

Kiddies who like the idea of using a 'hacker' distro even though they'd never exceed a Ubuntu LiveCD usecase.

I've gotten a few to reconsider after pointing out that all the tools in Kali rely on lax permissions and security flaws remaining on their system for them to be effective when targeting others.

Kali is very unsafe as a daily driver

Last I messed with backtrack, it was basically just Debian pre-loaded with pen-testing and security software. I never thought to install it to my hard drive - I'm pretty sure it was not meant for that. I haven't messed with Kali so I'm not sure how it's different.
