But what about the package support for Elementary OS. I heard it isn't that great.

Elementary is based off Ubuntu, so it supports all the same PPA's and .debs that ubuntu can use

The OS seems lightweight gonna give it a try and see how it fares for my personal project needs.

It's very lightweight with rock solid stability. I thoroughly enjoyed doing dev work on elementaryOS Loki. I had to move to a MacBook Pro for work, so I don't use it as much any more, but I would go back to it in a heartbeat.
