Linux CodingExperiments.com posted an interesting article by utilizing the Google Trends system to show the trends in the Linux ecosystem. While these trends don't mean "market share", they are interesting and pretty accurate in terms of what average users care about. According to it, "Ubuntu" might even overtake the word "linux" in Google's searches.

Bull - people have been taken apart for criticising Ubuntu, myself one of them. This has happened from the earliest days of this distributions arrival.

I dislike the Gnome desktop/philosophy, and Ubuntu concentrating on Gnome, rather than several desktop environments, instead of letting the user choose, does not impress me.

Furthermore, a recent forum issue left an even more bitter taste in my mouth. I was very reluctant to try Ubuntu, and after that incident, I wiped Ubuntu and put Debian Etch AMD64 on my new PC.
