And still Jörg says that he stopped using Ubuntu because he "didn't liek

That goes without saying with any regular Linux distro, doesn’t it?
They’re all endlessly configurable, and yet a lot of users, accustomed to
the centrally-dictated, like-it-or-lump-it world of Apple and Microsoft,
have real difficulty grasping the concept of software freedom and having a
choice.

So it is just like Debian, just louder in its Marketing of the different
Desktops?

I think so. I didn’t use it heavily enough to notice any difference
between the different Ubuntu “flavours”. They all share the same package
repos.

In other words, the difference in installation defaults is there precisely
to cater to those whom I mentioned above, who don’t realize that you have
configuration options.
