Easy, Light, Effective, and Well Maintained Linux Distro
What do you like best about the product?
Quickly and easily setup a desktop or server environment with little effort. You can have a fully functional LAMP stack with all the trimmings up and running in no time with very little effort.
The amount of support forums and documentation for the distro is IMMENSE. If you have a question about how to do pretty much anything in the OS, then the answer is out there in the community forums and/or documentation.
Package and application management is an absolute breeze and incredibly intuitive once you learn some of APT's basic functions and commands.
The distribution itself it well maintained with pretty regular updates, making it one of the most stable and secure operating systems around. It's extremely well balanced and just work "out-of-the-box" with little hassle in expanding it when compared to other Linux distribution flavors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Keeping track of certain dependencies and replacing obsoleted dependencies can become a problem when updating certain software, especially to experimental development versions.
Certain hardware support can be lacking at times.
The standard Unity desktop that Ubuntu ships with isn't the most pleasant to look at, though it's functionality is just fine.
There isn't a lot of commercial office, productivity, design, or development software available at the moment.
It should be noted that most of these complaints are specific to Linux in general and not just the Ubuntu distribution.

If you are a web developer or have aspirations to become one, than it's well worth it to familiarize yourself with Ubuntu and Linux in general since most of the web runs on Linux and LAMP stacks.
Sharp Learning Curve, But Worthwhile
