Who really enjoys futzing with their computer all day because the OS is so totally broken that they can't get work(or play) done? Really why would you want to spend six weeks configuring X so that you can have a usable system for two weeks before the next upgrade comes along and breaks your config file.
No thanks I'll take Ubuntu that gets out of the way and lets me play with whatever I find interesting over that configure arcana crap.
It directly speaks to the ease of use issue weather I choose Ubuntu or suse or whatever doesn't really make that much of a difference. Besides the non easy to use distros still exist for the people like the OP who want the added control and added time.

That's not really an accurate depiction of [insert all other distros besides Ubuntu].
