Well aside from the fact that they chose Gnome (eww) like
Redhat/Fedora. I think Ubuntu is actually a very polished distro. I
popped in a disk into my test machine the other day and was pleased. I
haven't switched to it because I think Ubuntu has attracted, by no
fault of their own, a lot of dicks and retards (excuse the language).
The only reason I haven't switched is because I have no reason to,
everything I need and want is in Fedora, minus a lot of the
personalities that I don't like.

My only significant issue with Ubuntu as a whole is that (I am
learning about this, and I am subject to correction) they are quite
selfish in terms of their development. While most of the fedora
streams work on projects upstream, Ubuntu does most of their work
downstream so that only Ubuntu people immediately benefit from work
they do, leaving it for individual projets to port any changes.

Fedora on the other hand a pretty strict policy of sticking with
upstream, applying as few downstream patches as possible. In this way,
everyone benefits from a fix. I am sure there are exceptions to this
of course. So this may be all good and well for Ubuntu users, but
again it's pretty selfish.
