It drow me away for sure.
The main reason I run Unix is the freedom it gives me to make my system the way I like it. For me Unix=freedom to customize. Considering that, the direction they've took at Cannonical is absurd. With each new release it's harder and harder to customize your system. If you want to configure it you have to hack it. Today, it's easier to customize Windows than it is to customize Ubuntu.
In the last few months I've played with Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint LXDE, Debian, OpenBSD, Arch, and ArchBang. I'm running ArchBang now and I love it!
P.S. I would have stayed with OpenBSD if it had a better support for flash. Flash on Linux sucks, but on OpenBSD it blows. Other than that, I was really impressed with it, installation is fast, it runs fast, it's stable, and it's secure, but you knew that already :)
