I'm an old Debian and Ubuntu user. I moved to Ubuntu for my desktop since I could install it and it would just work, with a sane enough GUI. With each new release the previous years, they've made design decisions that I don't like. While it's nice that they try to improve the desktop, it seems like they forget that in the real world, Linux adoption happens with power users recommending (and supporting) new users with their Linux installation. Maybe Ubuntu can change that, but we're not there yet. And if Ubuntu doesn't cater to the power users _as well_, one day they'll wake up to another Linux distribution gaining popularity. I've switched over to XFCE (Xubuntu) for now, but it seems like I might be better off going back to Debian. After all, I can join the Debian community and actually have a say if I disagree with its direction.
