Ubuntu is still a better experience than Debian on the desktop, many many packages are built and tested for Ubuntu and not debian. Ubuntu also as better hardware integration ( drivers ) and more modern kernels. AS a matter of fact it has many kernel for deferent usage. People use Ubuntu because it works just fine out of the box, you don't need to install a third party non free drivers to get your wifi card to work. I still have nightmare with debian because they used to not ship proprietary drivers so you would have to cary a USB stick in the datacenter with drivers on it to make network cards working.
