Debian also has version numbers (11, 12, 13) but people prefer the names releases for some reason.
I don't mind the names too much, and I don't even mind the moving "stable" name, but I do get confused because Debian's names don't necessarily increment. Ubuntu made the smart decision to make their names alphabetical and that helps tremendously when you're trying to guess how recent a particular version is.
