If 18.04 isn't awesome, I'd suggest you give 18.04.1 a try. Even LTS releases have a fair number of issues just after release, in my experience, which the first point release fixes.

Yes, agreed. In general I guess my point is, I'm not willing to spend several more years of my life while they continually rearrange things that don't matter. I just want a stable, well-supported distro that gets out of my way.

The time cost of switching has still been high enough that I haven't looked elsewhere, but that barrier is approaching...

Like me. :)

I stay with LTS. A do-release-upgrade for LTS-only will only upgrade at 18.04.1 anyways.

Although they've been slipping a bit lately, I'd still recommend Debian. There's a reason so many other distro's base themselves off of it.
