I just use Ubuntu 11.10 with a fairly standard set up of Sublime Text 2, Chrome, FileZilla, and vim for quick file editing when I'm in the terminal or SSH'd into another computer. This was after originally trying to cope with Eclipse and other IDE's that weren't my cup of tea. Mind, I'm looking to switch up the OS (or at least the window manager) because Unity offers a less productive environment, and Gnome3 on Ubuntu really disagrees with my hardware for some reason. Even Classic appears messed up.

I've just switched to xubuntu for similar reasons. I'm finding it a big improvement on gnome 3 or unity so far, although I've only been using it for about a week, so I still count it as testing at the moment.

  Kubuntu - been using it since I moved to GNU/Linux - but on my netbooks still can't decide between Lubuntu, Xubuntu, or the big K - I'm running lubuntu as a trial, its still young and stroppy but hey I get to edit its text config files. I earn my beer vouchers from what I do with the apps running in VM's (VirutalBox 4 me), when working full on I'll have 3 VM's running chatting to each other and out to the networks, but normally just have one or two up. Using VM's had been the biggest boost - I can shag around with the various OS's - a clean install, install vbox hook up to my existing disk images and I'm up and working - can be up and running in 30 mins from a clean install. I keep saying it - many thanks to all the fine folk that put together the various distributions - u add the spice to working life.

I have also switched to Xubuntu for these reasons. I'd probably be equally comfortable with GNOME 2x. I simply use vim with NERDtree and a bunch of other common plugins instead of an IDE.
