My two cents: I think it's good if the main quality focus is on the LTS. The short-lived intermediate versions don't interest me much; I see them as a testbed for innovations, and not as "work horses" that require extra attention for stability and reliability. "Want stable? Go LTS!" is a simple message that everyone can easily understand and approve of, I think.
In 14.04 LTS an important step has been made towards modernization: the Whisker menu and the single desktop bar. Excellent. Cool and slick. Nice artwork, beautiful deep blue wallpaper. Radiates quality in a restrained way. One thing I'd really like (ceterum censeo, as the Roman statesman used to say), is to see Abiword and Gnumeric being replaced by LibreOffice. It would make the default installation so much better.... First impressions matter a lot.
