I run 6 servers currently (4 running CentOS-5 and 2 running CentOS-6) 
plus a laptop and a workstation running CentOS-6. Still to take the 
plunge into CentOS-7. My operating space is small business situations 
wanting low touch, high up time and reliability. Also a high aversion to 
being sold expensive software that in no way out-performs FOSS for all 
the basic tasks a small business needs to survive.
Thus you are not alone and probably not that small a minority.
