I'd better start by admitting that I'm a fan of KDE. It's not because it works like Windows, but for the quality of the tools available. However, a GUI is just a way of doing something and I think I've been a bit dismissive of the Gnome desktop up to now. I read a few reviews of Ubuntu, looked at their web site and decided to have a look. I wanted a general purpose (desktop) distribution and an opportunity to get to know the Gnome utilities.

Don't like (insert_distro_here)? Just make your own and give it away for free. When it's your distro you get to choose your own colours, desktop, wm, package manager etc. You can even put your taskbar at the bottom of the screen!
Ubuntu sent me 10 pairs of CDs halfway around the world for nothing. Everytime I see the brown, I'm reminded that this distro is a little bit different in a good way.
To everybody who moans about having to download so many ISOs and it won't boot on such'n'such, there are any number of (non-free) alternatives which would give you the right to bitch.
If you find a genuine bug. Make the effort to file a proper bug report. That way, you become part of the solution, not just another casual observer of problems.
All distros offer something. Linux users unite!
