So you thought Debian's desktop install and setup process was as simple as Ubuntu's? I don't think that's true even today. And Ubuntu made changes and compromises that I don't think Debian ever would so simply being a Debian installer wouldn't have worked out. It feels like rewriting history to simply brush off most of their engineering efforts as simple being marketing.

Yes, I did think that. The only hard part about Debian was finding the right ISO. The docs and installation experience were fantastic. To this day their landing page is kind of confusing, especially to a layman, so I'll give you that.
