Jeremy, To be honest, I have given up on Ubuntu and moved back to core Debian because of the direction things seemed to be going in long ago, and have actually gone with the Ubuntu development. In my 15 years of linux experience, I have never seen any single distro follow Microsoft down the slippery slope of poor prioritisation as closely as Ubuntu has. Focus has gone full cycle to be about the UI so much more than core functions that simple things that worked before go broken like Audio (with the introduction and poor integration of pulse) among other issues too numerous to count. Regression is the order of the day with Ubuntu so much so I have abandoned any bug reporting in it and even use of it at this stage.
I focus my development efforts on Debian and Maemo (and shortly depending on how things pan out, Meego) as far as linux goes and for the upper end stuff OpenSolaris. Some of the problems of Ubuntu seem to be leaking into the global distribution world and we now see mass regressions in Gnome under other distros. If this continues, I fear the anti-OpenSource advocates (MS, Apple et al) would have won in this OS war since the only thing worse than obscurity where an OS is concerned is negative mass exposure. I fear linux is on a path to notoriety where the desktop and non-tech users are concerned and if this continues unchecked, the developers who have been around from the beginning and the experienced ones like myself with a bit less experience than the older guys will abandon desktop and handheld development out of frustration. I have the Sharp Zaurus project of 2001-2002 under my belt of experience but today's linux world is full of programmers who don't seem to really grasp what the OpenSource movement is really about. These 'nu-devs' have too much say in the direction the community is going in and not enough understanding of where GNU and then Linux came from. Without knowing where you came from, or who you are, you have no way of knowing where you're going.
