Yes. Great hardware support but here are the things I didn't like about it:
1. Lack of a GUI installer. Sure, a pro doesn't need it but we're trying to get noobs converted.
2. Their weird root login configuration. It's kind of a pain in the butt.
3. Their packages aren't as fresh as other distros.
4. I prefer to introduce people to Linux using KDE and Kubuntu had/has issues.
5. Nearly all purchase apps are tested on Red Hat and SuSE. Other distros are hit and miss.
6. Their naming convention pisses me off. Breezy Badger? WTF? Does that come before or after Rabid Dolphin and Constipated Squirrel? Stick to the numbers, folks.
7. They've changed long-established names in their effort to Africanize their community. Or some other reason. Whatever it is, I don't want to have to re-learn terms just so I can use a distro.
