Some of the more notable new features are a Graphical Configuration tool for X, improvements in plug-in handling for Mozilla Firefox, revamped printing system with PDF printing by default, fast user switching, new desktop search (Tracker) application and the new AppArmor security framework."

Yeah, I would like to see KDE4 as the default DE in a future Ubuntu release and Gnome getting the same status as KDE3 has now (i.e. it'd have its own overlooked (esp. by devs) distro called "Gubuntu").
Until this happens I cannot truly advocate Ubuntu, as IMHO KDE is superior to Gnome. I also don't like how Gnome developers embrace MONO.
It is too bad as Ubuntu would be the most obvious distro to recommend to newbies as
1) it has very active development to make it easier to use/install
2) it has the most available information on the net in my (and their) native language (website/docs/forums).
3) it is the most hyped (i.e. advertised) distro which has a big influence to many people's opinions.
Currently it's quite a twisted situation when people who have seen the all the Ubuntu hype come to ask my opinion about Ubuntu and all I can say "Yes, Ubuntu is quite good but I'd rather recommend err.. Kubuntu which is much better."... Obviously the explanation to the question "Why?" will only confuse newbies even more. They'll also wonder what they should believe; me or the hype...
