"When looking at desktop Linux by itself, any analysis of the subject quickly leads to this question: why do users choose one version over another? There are as many answers for this question as there are users to give them, but ultimately it should boil down to just a few key decisions which must be made. Considering this, it may be surprising to some people to find out how successful Ubuntu Linux has been relative to other distributions."

You express exactly the way I feel. The OS is just simple to set up and it works out of the box without many gripes.
Another bonus is for the average beginner who know nothing about using Linux line commands, synaptic is one of the best things going. You search for the software you made need. Find it. A couple of check marks later and a press of the apply button you have it installed. I like that feature a lot.
