I hope that you are right. I have used K/Ubuntu since Feisty and tested each
version from alpha on. However, I am not so confident given some of their
recent decisions which are being widely criticized on the net. Those are the
inclusion of more Mono and scrapping the GIMP from the CD. Mono has been
consistently high in terms of people wanting to rid Ubuntu of it on
Brainstorm. Obviously they aren't listening to their own users on a platform
they invented for that purpose. It does not fill me with confidence that
they care about users, just about appearances. I feel that Canonical is
being driven by a small clique of developers and not the community at this
point.
