Ubuntu is entrenched, there is no equivalent distro that combines the ease of use of a desktop system with the package support for dev and server. Better to use it and change the parts we don't like until the changes become the norm -- ubuntu's strength is in its community. Linux infighting and fracturing over pedantic differences is what keeps it from becoming a first-class desktop OS for the common user.
